Product description

The infrared heater utilises a highly efficient gold-coloured short wave heating element. It generates full heat immediately and it emits up to 20% more heat than older infrared heaters and converts most of the energy to heat. The short wave infrared light can be compared to the sun's radiation and only heats people within the heater's immediate area instead of the surrounding air, even in windy conditions. The coating on the heating element also filters the visible light to a more comfortable light that does not dazzle.
