When Infracenter started working with infrared heating, we discovered the same problem over and over again. Customers wanted heat, but they didn't want the products on the market. Many traditional patio heaters gave off a bright red light, looked like industrial products, and didn't fit well in environments where design, comfort, and atmosphere were important.
For a modern conservatory, a restaurant terrace or a stylish home, it's not enough for a heater to work. It also has to fit in.
That's why Infracenter developed the Dark Heater.
The result is a premium heater that combines Italian design, mid-wave IR-B technology, four heating elements, IP65 rating and flexible control in a product that provides comfortable heat without visible light.
Dark Heater is developed for people who want warmth without compromising the environment around them.
What is Dark Heater?
Dark Heater is an infrared heater that uses mid-wave IR-B technology to create soft, comfortable and effective heat without visible light.
Unlike traditional patio heaters with short-wave IR-A technology, the Dark Heater does not emit any strong red or orange light. The heater is completely black or white even when in operation, allowing it to blend naturally into the environment.
IR-B technology sits between short-wave infrared heat (IR-A) and long-wave infrared heat (IR-C). The result is a unique combination of comfort, range and energy efficiency that is perfect for environments where people stay for extended periods.
Many customers describe the feeling as being in the sun on a cool spring day. The heat feels natural, even and comfortable without taking over the environment around you.
Developed in Italy with inspiration from Modena and Ferrari
Dark Heater is developed in Italy with the help of engineers from the Enzo Ferrari department at the Università di Modena.
The region around Modena is known worldwide for its combination of innovation, design and engineering, developing products where performance, quality and aesthetics must work together.
The same philosophy lies behind Dark Heater.
The goal has never been to build another heater. The goal has been to create a heater that people actually want in their home, at their restaurant or in their conservatory.
That's why the Dark Heater is available in both black and white. That's why no light is visible during operation. And that's why the design has received as much focus as the technology.
Heat That Is Felt But Not Seen
Most people have sat under a traditional patio heater at some point.
You feel the heat.
You see the bright light.
And you know exactly where the heater is located.
Dark Heater works in a different way.
Instead of dominating the environment, it works discreetly in the background. The heat hits people, furniture, floors and other surfaces directly, creating a natural and pleasant comfort without changing the atmosphere.
That's one of the reasons why Dark Heater has become so popular in restaurants, hotels, conservatories and other environments where both comfort and design are important.
Four Heating Elements – A Design That Stands Out From The Crowd
One of the biggest differences between the Dark Heater and many other heaters on the market is the design with four silicone-insulated heating elements.
Many traditional solutions use a single heating element. Infracenter chose instead to develop the Dark Heater with four separate elements that work together.
This provides several clear advantages:
Up to 20% higher efficiency
More even heat distribution
Higher operational reliability
Longer lifespan
Better resistance to moisture
By distributing the load across several heating elements, wear is reduced while thermal comfort is improved.
Four Power Modes For Full Control
The Dark Heater comes with a remote control included as standard.
Using the remote control, you can easily choose between four power modes:
25% power
50% power
75% power
100% effect
The built-in 8-hour timer also makes it easy to automatically turn off the heater when it is no longer needed.
It provides a flexible and user-friendly solution that works equally well at home as in professional environments.
IP65 – Built For Demanding Environments
Dark Heater is designed to function without problems even in environments where moisture, dust and weather make high demands.
The robust construction is IP65 rated, meaning the heater is dustproof and protected against water from all directions. It can even be rinsed off with water if necessary.
This makes Dark Heater a popular choice in:
Restaurants and cafes
Hotels and lounges
Conservatories and glazed balconies
Stable and tack room
Workshops and garages
Warehouses and industrial environments
The combination of Italian design and IP65 is rare on the market. Many heaters are either stylish or robust. Dark Heater is designed to be both.
Contributes to a Drier and More Comfortable Environment
Dark Heater not only heats people but also floors, walls, furniture and other surfaces.
When these surfaces are heated, the raw feeling that often occurs in humid environments is reduced. That is why Dark Heater is often used in conservatories, garages, workshops, stables and other spaces where moisture can be a challenge.
Many customers appreciate not only the heat, but also the drier and more comfortable environment that results when surfaces are regularly heated.
Suitable for both individuals and companies
Dark Heater is developed for environments where people want to feel comfortable.
Common uses are:
Restaurants and cafes
Hotels and lounges
Outdoor dining
Conservatory
Glazed balconies
Office
Stable and tack room
Garage and hobby room
Warehouses and workshops
Sports halls and gyms
Whether you want to create a more comfortable environment at home or for your customers, Dark Heater offers a solution that combines comfort, design and operational reliability.
Easy Wall or Ceiling Mounting
Dark Heater can be mounted both on the wall and on the ceiling.
The included brackets are built approximately 10 centimeters from the wall or ceiling, which also corresponds to the recommended safety distance behind the heater.
With a dispersion angle of 60 degrees, you get a wide and even heat distribution over the area to be heated.
