Arcadia Halogen Basking Spot 100W

Product Information

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 PAR30 Halogen Flood lamp has a built-in metal reflector for optimal light delivery to the basking zone and can deliver high temperatures over a wide area. Electric infrared heaters offering significant benefits over gas alternatives. However gas heaters do still remain a popular choice for many restaurants and bars. Often, they're a picturesque and captivating feature of an outdoors space. This has been shown to draw in customers to an entrance way or outdoor area. They're relatively straightforward to assemble and their gas cylinders can be easily refilled. The unit itself being very portable to different areas as needed

Arcadia Reptile wide beam Halogen Flood Lamps are powerful, robust and should always be used with a suitable dimming thermostat. 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. Tungsten halogen lamps behave in a similar manner to other incandescent lamps when run on a different voltage. However the light output is reported as proportional to V 3 {\displaystyle VHome 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. 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. The Arcadia Reptile 100w PAR38 Halogen Flood lamp has a built-in metal reflector for optimal light delivery to the basking zone and can deliver high temperatures over a wide 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.

A halogen lamp (also called tungsten halogen, quartz-halogen, and quartz iodine lamp) is an incandescent lamp consisting of a tungsten filament sealed in a compact transparent envelope that is filled with a mixture of an inert gas and a small amount of a halogen, such as iodine or bromine. The combination of the halogen gas and the tungsten filament produces a halogen-cycle chemical reaction, which redeposits evaporated tungsten on the filament, increasing its life and maintaining the clarity of the envelope. This allows the filament to operate at a higher temperature than a standard incandescent lamp of similar power and operating life; this also produces light with higher luminous efficacy and color temperature. The small size of halogen lamps permits their use in compact optical systems for projectors and illumination. The small glass envelope may be enclosed in a much larger outer glass bulb, which has a lower temperature, protects the inner bulb from contamination, and makes the bulb mechanically more similar to a conventional lamp. [1] A carbon filament lamp using chlorine to prevent darkening of the envelope was patented [2] in 1882, and chlorine-filled "NoVak" lamps were marketed in 1892. [3] 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’.

Halogen Lamp and Shadow

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 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. Some heaters are marketed with a high IP (ingress proof) rating, for example, IP65. Although we deliver IP65 in many of our products ask yourself if this is worth any additional cost before specifying it or paying extra for it. Ask yourself if it is necessary for your application. Many heaters are installed under some cover, like an awning or parasol which provides some protection. If so, then IP24 is a good enough rating for permanent outdoor installation. The Arcadia Reptile PAR20 50 Watt Halogen Flood lamp is a small lamp with a lot of punch. This is our ‘mid-beam’ lamp which is powerful, crisp, bright and Infra-Red-A rich. This is a very energy efficient lamp being better reflected and insulated than standard glass lamps. This small PAR20 50w lamp has a clear front which means that this small lamp can for most replace up to a 75w standard tungsten spot lamp. This can equate to considerable energy use savings for smaller species with a higher heat requirement.
