We built the 2500W halogen outdoor heater for restaurants because some nights, the only thing standing between a patio and a full house is warmth. It throws heat straight onto people and surfaces—no waiting around for the air to warm up. Power, voltage, and why it feels so immediate This unit runs on 400V and pulls 2500W, packed into a surprisingly compact footprint. The 300mm tube focuses the radiant heat into a tight hot zone, so you can aim it exactly where you need it. That concentrated power is why you feel the warmth the second it turns on. And because it’s working that hard, the fixture and mounting hardware are built to keep running—steady, night after night. The guts: halogen, coating, and a connector that just works Inside, the halogen element sits in a quartz envelope that handles the shock of turning on and off again and again. A reflective coating on the back pushes the heat downward, so you’re not wasting energy shooting warmth up into the sky. The R7s connector is straightforward and industrial—two pins, clean wiring, and it stays aligned even when there’s vibration. In other words, it’s designed to drop right in and get the job done. Patio heat that doesn’t make you wait In restaurant service, time is everything. This heater comes on instantly, so you can open the patio on demand—no long warm-up, no guesswork. Just keep in mind: it’s strong. You’ll want proper clearances and a ventilation plan to manage the ambient heat around the unit. But when you need warmth that shows up the moment the door opens, that’s exactly the point.
