Infrared isn't meant to be the "fast" heat that's generated from a fan based heater. It gently heats up the thermal mass of the building, like walls, ceiling and objects. The idea is to keep it on all of the time, controlled by a thermostat, and let the building warm up, then, it saves money by "topping up" the lost heat
Hello. I have question: does the panel still heat a room if there is something blocking it like a sofa for example? Or does the blocking object null the heater completely? Sofa should radiate the heat eventually into surroundings or does it not?
Hi, and thank you for your comment. These kind of heaters are more aimed at heating the body directly rather than heating objects in the room. Having said that the room will slowly and eventually get warm by other things absorbing the infrared. They tend not to heat rooms as quickly as other more conventional sources like radiators and such, as they don’t warm up the air directly. Hope this helps? Experience tells me that the best placement for this kind of panel would ideally be on the ceiling directly above the main area where people are.
Hi do you connected it with WiFi or manually? I bought this yesterday but only read light indicator not blue light showing on the screen, can you please kindly explain to me little bit, thanks for your video
I connect mine to smart plugs. When im in bed I just ask alexa to turn on the the living room heater. I can also do this from an app on my phone when im half an hour from home. If ive got excess solar I can turn them on when im not in, so I dont export any electricity
@@jussikankinen9409 Thanks for the comment, not directly from a solar panel, but if you place a battery and a MPPT charger in between of sufficient power then absolutely it would work. I have run it many times this way.
Hi Andrew, and thanks for the comment. That’s exactly where I use mine now and keeps my legs lovely and warm. The infrared also eventually warms the wooden table so over a few hours you can feel the room getting warm too. I agree the 180 watts isn’t a lot of power especially when you are freezing cold and need instant heat, but it does work and it’s cheap to run.
Hello, I have a question about these heaters that I cannot find the answer to. I am trying to find a solution for our Murphy bed. The bed is in our flat that's on an outside wall in a Grade II listed building with no insulation. There is a radiator but it's on the other wall and the bed blocks the heat from penetrating though when it's closed up as it is during the day. There is a small gap running inside the bed casing where I could possibly install this heater. Would it be possible to have the infrared heater on when the bed is closed or is there a possibility that it could burn the bed linens? Thanks.
Hi and thanks for the comment. Whilst I can’t give exact advice without seeing the setup you’ve outlined, on what I understand I would say placing this type of heater where you are thinking is not advisable and could pose a fire risk. If you look at the fire triangle (heat, fuel and oxygen) then I’d recommend you don’t place it there. Hope this helps.
I think you're right. I just spoke to someone who sells heaters and he recommended I buy a heated mattress cover as that's designed to have things put on top of it. The other thing I was thinking of getting was a tubular heater with a guard that would sit at the bottom of the wall bed where there is a gap or, eventually, underfloor heating. Thanks for your quick reply and have a great day! @@Digaroo-gadgets
I bought one 600x600 and was so disappointed with it,I had to stand a foot away to feel any heat, which was very little, the cost of these panels is unjustifiable. I sent mine back the next day.
Those are not infrared panels. They are radiant panels. A lot of companies are misrepresenting their products lately and I’ve seen a bunch of videos claiming the panels they sell are infrared but they are not.
Just checked out what you said they seem to be sold as both ie far infrared and radiant heaters. I thought they were only far infrared, perhaps they do both. It's an interesting product worth more investigation.
@@richardkingadi5511 I didn't think that was correct so I googled it and it isn't correct according to Google. Apparently there are different types of heat and some produce infrared while others do not.
Hi do you connected it with WiFi or manually? I bought this yesterday but only read light indicator not blue light showing on the screen, can you please kindly explain to me little bit, thanks for your video ,and it's can work with mobile hotspot too or?
@@ali1122 Hi thanks for the comment. This is purely a plug and play so to speak, although more expensive ones do offer Wi-Fi this one I have doesn’t. Sorry I can’t help any further.

Good for a home worker. Keeps them warm at their workstation without having to heat the whole house! Could save some money?
Yeah but for instance if you place the panel on your left side, your right side will be cold.

@@Digaroo-gadgets Yes, it warms objects and the room. in the garage itself, it's not very fast but a pleasant heat over time.

Do they work with dc from solar panels

I am from the US. Could these be placed under a table of desk? With the wattage it makes the thing appear rather gimicky.

@@Digaroo-gadgets Beats the cost of heatimng the whole home, if you are working from home!

Generally place these on the roof above the bed

All heat is infra-red!
