Radiant Heaters

• HEATSCOPE® radiant heaters draw between 6.96 and 13.91 amperes at full power, depending on the wattage rating of your model. The Spot 1600W draws 6.96A; the Spot 2800W draws 12.17A; the Vision 3200W and Pure 3000W both draw approximately 13A at 100% power.
  ⁠All HEATSCOPE® models operate on 220–240V single-phase supply at 50–60Hz. Most models feature dual power stages, which means you can also run them at 50% power; at this setting, the current draw reduces proportionally. For example, a Vision 3200W operating at 50% would draw roughly 6.95A instead of the full 13.91A.These specifications are essential for circuit planning. Confirm your installation supports the required amperage with a qualified electrician before commissioning the heater.

Infrared radiant heating technology uses direct heat transfer: electromagnetic waves deliver warmth from the heater to people and surfaces, bypassing the surrounding air entirely. HEATSCOPE radiant heaters emit mid-wave infrared radiation that is absorbed by solid objects (people, floors, surfaces) on contact. Because air is largely transparent to these wavelengths, warmth is not lost to wind, draughts, or dispersal in open spaces.

Mid-wave infrared is quickly absorbed by solid surfaces and skin, replicating the natural sensation of direct sunlight without heating the air around you. HEATSCOPE's dual carbon spiral heating elements emit this radiation through ceramic glass fronts with minimal visible light, delivering quiet, directed warmth. Designed to German engineering standards, this technology performs consistently indoors and in exposed outdoor environments.

Weather-resistant radiant heaters warm people and surfaces directly through infrared waves, while convection heaters warm the surrounding air, making radiant the practical choice for outdoor use. Air is largely transparent to mid-wave infrared, so the energy travels through open space and is absorbed by skin, tables, floors and nearby objects, much like warmth from the sun on a cool day.

Convection relies on still air to build a pocket of warmth around you. Outside, that pocket drifts away on the first breeze, taking comfort with it.

Heatscope's carbon spiral technology converts up to 94% of its energy into directed infrared heat, so warmth holds its focus even in exposed patios, courtyards and open-fronted venues. Start-up is near-instant, and because there is no flue or ventilation requirement, placement follows the design of the space rather than the other way around.

The best HEATSCOPE radiant heater for your space depends on three practical factors: the location's exposure to weather, the size of the zone you're heating, and your aesthetic preference.

If your space is fully exposed to outdoor elements, such as a rooftop, deck, or open patio, the Pure Plus model's IP65 rating and all-weather design make it the most resilient choice. For semi-covered areas like sheltered patios or balconies, the Spot delivers compact, rapid heat-up (under 15 seconds) across an 8 m² zone, or choose the Vision for larger spaces needing 11 m² coverage with minimal light output from the ceramic glass front.

Consider how you experience the space. The Spot and Vision both offer IP24 weather protection, whilst the Spot's smaller form factor suits intimate areas and the Vision's 1,661 mm width creates a more substantial focal point. All three operate at dual 50/100% power settings and deliver heat in 15-60 seconds depending on the model.

Discuss your specific location, intended installation position, and aesthetic priorities with our specialists, who will recommend which model aligns with your project needs.

HEATSCOPE weather-resistant infrared heaters reach full output in under 15 seconds on most models; the glass-fronted range reaches comfortable warmth in under 60 seconds. You feel the warmth almost the moment the heater switches on, because infrared radiation travels through the air like sunlight and warms people and surfaces directly rather than heating the surrounding atmosphere.

That direct-to-body transfer is why outdoor patio heating with infrared behaves differently from a gas patio heater or a fan heater. There is no lag while the air temperature climbs, and almost no heat loss to wind or open sides of a pergola. Two practical benefits follow:

• Guests arriving to a cold terrace feel warmth within seconds of the heater being switched on, rather than waiting 20 to 30 minutes for air temperature to rise.
• Instant-on, instant-off operation means you only run the heater during occupied moments, keeping energy use close to actual occupancy time.

Carbon fibre elements are rated for at least 10,000 operating hours, and radiant efficiency across the range sits between 87 and 94 percent, so that fast warmth is delivered consistently across years of residential or commercial use.

Yes, HEATSCOPE® weather-resistant infrared heaters are engineered for both residential and commercial applications, and are installed in restaurants, cafes, bars, and hospitality venues.

Commercial durability is built into the core components. Carbon fibre heating elements are rated for at least 10,000 hours of operation, and the aluminium chassis resists discolouration and tarnishing over years of continuous service. There are no ignition components, gas connections, valves, or hoses to maintain, reducing downtime and servicing complexity in high-use environments.

For multi-zone installations, a single remote pairs with multiple heaters, and ZigBee motion sensors automate zones to activate only when areas are occupied, helping manage energy use across large terrace or dining areas. All models accept wall and ceiling mounting, with extension rods in 100, 300, and 500 mm increments providing height flexibility across varying ceiling configurations such as marquees, pergolas, and outdoor dining pavilions.

For venue specification, HEATSCOPE®’s technical team provides schematic diagrams and tailored positioning guidance based on your space’s dimensions, wind exposure, and installation height. The general principle: more wind exposure and greater installation height call for higher-output models with stronger beam reach.

No, radiant heating does not degrade indoor air quality. Heatscope Heaters use mid-wave infrared radiation, which transfers heat directly to solid objects (people, furniture, and floors) without heating the air itself. This fundamental difference from forced-air heating systems creates distinct air-quality benefits.

Because radiant heaters have no fan or blower, there is no convection to disturb dust, pollen, or other particulates. The sealed construction (IP25–IP65, depending on model) prevents internal particulate accumulation. There are no combustion byproducts, ventilation requirements, or filters to maintain.

Radiant heating also does not alter humidity levels the way forced-air systems do. You get even thermal comfort without the dry-air side effects common to traditional heating. For users with allergies or asthma, the absence of air circulation and combustion makes radiant heaters a practical choice for creating a quieter, cleaner indoor environment.

Carbon spiral heating technology uses two coiled carbon filaments, energised by an electric current, to produce mid-wave infrared radiation that warms people and surfaces directly. Heatscope’s weather-resistant range encloses this technology in housings rated for outdoor exposure, maintaining full performance in open patios and exposed living areas.

Heatscope uses carbon spirals because they generate heat as the primary output, not light. Most outdoor radiant heaters rely on light tubes that produce brightness first, with heat arriving as a by-product and an aggressive red glow. Carbon spirals reverse that priority, operating at filament temperatures of 1,100–1,300°C [2,012–2,372°F] and a colour temperature of 1,550–1,650 K, producing only 30–40% of the visible light of traditional radiant heaters. The result is sun-like warmth absorbed just under the first layers of skin, with no harsh glare to flatten the colour of food, joinery or lighting design.

The Pure Plus suits fully exposed outdoor installations, Vision minimises visible light for sheltered alfresco dining, Next covers semi-open and indoor-outdoor transitions, and Spot provides compact, targeted directional warmth. Weather-resistant requirements are the primary filter.

Pure Plus is the definitive choice for open-air patios, pool surrounds, and unroofed terraces. It carries the highest weatherproof rating in the range (IP65) and uses a convex SCHOTT NEXTREMA glass-ceramic front that spreads sun-like warmth evenly while softening the visible glow.

For covered alfresco rooms, loggias, and sheltered dining zones where atmosphere matters alongside warmth, Vision is the model to consider. Its ceramic glass front reduces visible light to a minimum, creating the most ambient footprint of the range at 3,200W, the highest heat output in the lineup.

Next suits semi-open terraces, verandahs, and spaces that shift between indoor and outdoor use. Its slim aluminium profile fits flush to wall and ceiling surfaces without visual bulk.

Spot concentrates directional infrared on a specific zone, a balcony, a covered nook, or a set of seats, and comes in two output levels to match the space.

Every range includes two-stage output control and a 2-year warranty. ZigBee smart control is available as an optional accessory on most models.

Two-stage output control lets weather-resistant HEATSCOPE radiant heaters switch between 100% and 50% power, so you can match heat delivery to conditions without turning the heater off. On a mild evening, 50% output keeps a patio comfortable while roughly halving energy draw; on colder nights, full power delivers the direct infrared warmth the heaters are engineered for.

The two levels are switchable from a wall switch, an included or optional 2-step infrared remote, or, with a WiFi wall switch, a smartphone and voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant. One remote can pair with multiple heaters, which is useful across larger covered areas or split zones in a restaurant or bar setting where different sections need different heat levels at once. ZigBee accessories extend this further on select models for motion-triggered or scene-based control.

Because HEATSCOPE heaters draw significant power at full output, the levels are fixed at 50% and 100%; a standard dimmer is not compatible. That fixed step is deliberate. It protects the heating elements and keeps infrared output stable and efficient at both settings.
