Product Information

If you know the answers to these questions, the heater(s) will usually choose themselves. However, we are always pleased to speak with our customers and make recommendations based upon your specific circumstances. Arcadia Reptile wide beam Halogen Flood Lamps are powerful, robust and should always be used with a suitable dimming thermostat. Creating a pleasant and comfortable area for customers to be outside is no longer optional. In the hospitality sector it's an essential requirement to maximise potential profits. Ensure no space underutilised even when temperatures drop. It can be staggering to see how much of an impact a simple installation can have on trade. Some careful research into the options available for heating will ensure that your heated outdoor is efficient. The area can then help to improve profits and is rarely a drain upon them. The principle of radiant heating is well-established. There are important distinctions to be made between long wave, medium or short-wave emitter quartz lamps and heaters. In a consumer or home setting, the choices are just as great. However, there are a lot of really poor products out there. In many circumstances they look like a good buy, yet, CAVEAT EMPTOR!don't deliver on their advertised performance. A 2kW rating on the box is telling you the power it consumes and not necessarily its heat output. There are often massive differences between a technologically advanced 2kW infrared heater and a poorly developed, cheaper 2kW alternative patio heater. We go into more detail about the exactly why in the sections below.

Arcadia Reptile wide beam Halogen Flood Lamps are powerful, robust and should be used with a suitable dimming thermostat. Home use gas heaters can still be a good option. Especially if your intended use is a few hours a week or short bursts during summer months. The additional running costs of gas patio heatersand the type of heat a gas heater delivers will not necessarily become a detrimental factor. If you're drawn to the aesthetic look of an open flame, it will also be hard to discount gas as your preferred choice. They also benefit from complete portability. Guests also like the very stylish spiral flames of the Santini ECO gas heater.The Arcadia Reptile Halogen PAR20 50w heat lamp has a built-in metal reflector for optimal light delivery to the basking zone.

Arcadia Reptile Halogen Flood lamps should be used alongside an appropriate UV producing system such as ProT5 and can be paired with Genuine Arcadia Reptile Deep Heat Projectors and JungleDawn-LED Bars. Arcadia Reptile wide beam Halogen heat Lamps are powerful, robust and should be used with a suitable dimming thermostat. The inside surface of any short-wave outdoor heater should always have a highly reflective mirror finish, long-lasting reflector which reflects as much of the heat energy out in the desired direction. A major benefit of being able to adjust the direction is that high intensity heating can be given at lower level even though the heater is mounted much higher. In Shadow heaters, we've pioneered the use of a parabolic reflector to further enhance performance. The parabolic reflector is scientifically proven to reflect the most even pattern of rays from directly outwards in across the reflected arc. This is the ‘BIG ONE’, Arcadia Reptile Halogen Flood lamps are our most popular heating lamps and for a good reason. They are powerful, dependable and able to deliver high levels of heat over a very wide area. Our PAR38 100 Watt Halogen Flood lamp is perfect for use in larger caging for larger species. Being able to cover the whole body of large species at safe fitting distances is a must for keepers, ensuring reliable IR-A rich warming and user safety. This is not a lamp to take chances with, it can deliver 70C at 15” to dark slate, so please do use suitable dimming thermostatic control. Beam radius is a whopping 9”/23cm+ at 15” with solid heating over the whole central area. It's also important to be aware of cheap copies of infrared patio heaters - the old adage "you get what you pay for" applies to most things in life and it's no different whenconsidering what patio heater to buy. Cheaper outdoor heaters will often only use ordinary glass which does not allow heat to pass through and can shatter under heat duress. The component parts give poor heat output and sometimes an inadequate lamp life of around 12 hours rather than 5,000 - 7,000 hours we strive for throughout the Shadow range of high-performance patio heaters.There are significant disparities between the kinds of electric infrared heaters available. Major differences exist in their effectiveness and suitability in differing outdoor settings. The Arcadia Reptile 75w Halogen Flood lamp is powerful, crisp, bright and Infra-Red-A rich. This is a very adaptable, energy efficient lamp being better reflected and insulated than standard glass lamps, which means that this mid-size 75w PAR30 flood lamp can for most replace up to a 100w standard tungsten spot lamp. This can equate to considerable energy use savings whilst also greatly widening the beam width or ‘projection zone’. Standard and halogen incandescent bulbs are much less efficient than LED and compact fluorescent lamps, and therefore have been or are being phased out in many places.
