Introduction
We make bulk patio heaters—straight-up, high-output infrared units built for commercial spaces that live outdoors. At the heart is a halogen lamp that throws concentrated radiant heat exactly where you need it, especially when regular convection heaters just can’t keep up. These are the kind of heaters you spec into an outdoor layout when you want warmth fast, and you want it to show up and perform, every single night.
Power, Voltage, and Placement—Let’s Get Practical
Infrared output comes down to power density, so we match the wattage to the space and how high you’re mounting the unit. Most setups run on either 230V or 400V, which makes it easier to wire to what you already have and balance the load across phases. The 300mm tube length packs the emitting surface into a tight footprint, which boosts watt density. The payoff? Stronger heat intensity right under the beam. But that also means the fixture has to handle the thermal load and keep airflow around the element in check.
What’s Inside: Halogen, Quartz, and a Rugged Connection
Inside the quartz envelope, the halogen cycle keeps the filament stable at high temps and helps reduce blackening over time. The reflector coating is chosen to bounce infrared energy downward, so more of the heat goes where you want it—not wasted sideways. For termination, we use an R7s, bipolar double-ended connection. It gives you a secure, aligned mount and a solid electrical link that can handle vibration and the constant push-pull of heating up and cooling down. Installation? Simple. The lamp drops in and locks. No fragile base to worry about cracking.
Where These Shine—and What to Keep in Mind
These heaters are made for commercial patios, loading docks, and semi-enclosed outdoor service areas. Infrared heat warms people and surfaces directly, not the whole volume of air. That keeps operating costs lower than trying to heat the air itself—but it does require line-of-sight placement. Here’s the trade-off: the heat is focused and effective, but wind and cold air still matter. So you want to pair your heater layout with good shelter and smart air management.
Get the Spec Right—Because It Matters
A 400V, 2500W halogen tube delivers serious heat density. Make sure the housing has enough cooling, and double-check that your wiring and control gear are rated for the continuous load. Run the unit within the specified voltage window, and you get steady output and a long element life. Push the voltage or undersize the wiring, though, and you’ll pay for it quickly—service intervals will shrink fast.
