SmartWave carbon fiber radiant heaters have the ability to transfer heat to a person or object without heating the surrounding air. Featuring CarbonIQ, carbon fiber elements, SmartWave produces high-output medium-wave infrared heat energy with a soft visible orange glow. With less intense light than short-wave infrared, SmartWave heaters are a great choice for outdoor patios or commercial applications such as restaurants, where high heat is required but less visible light is desired.
