SmartWave® carbon fiber radiant heaters have the ability to transfer heat to a person or object without heating the surrounding air. Featuring CarbonIQ, carbon fiber elements, SmartWave produces high-output medium-wave infrared heat energy with a soft visible orange glow. With less intense light than short-wave infrared, SmartWave heaters are a great choice for outdoor patios or commercial applications such as restaurants, where high heat is required but less visible light is desired. NOTE: If heater will be mounted high out of reach, it is required to install a Single-Pole Remote Wall Switch (Rated 22A minimum) to cut power to the heater as needed. This IP55 water-resistant rated heater features an integrated, built-in controller and a 24 hour timer to only heat the space while you are using it. And with the simple hand-held remote control, comfort is always in the palm of your hand.
