With the arrival of the cold season, outdoor spaces in private homes and commercial venues (Bars, Restaurants and Hotels) risk remaining unused due to low temperatures.
However, there are several ways to make them comfortable all year round, maintaining an ideal temperature even when warm weather is just a memory.
Why choose infrared heating lamps
With the arrival of cold weather, terraces, verandas and outdoor dining areas risk being left unused, both in private homes and in bars, restaurants and hotels. Traditionally, many Italian venues rely on gas heaters or mushroom-style patio heaters, but these solutions have several drawbacks: heat dispersion, gas bottle management, high operating costs and health concerns when used in enclosed spaces.
Electric infrared heating lamps, on the other hand, represent a modern, practical and sustainable solution. These devices deliver heat directly and precisely, creating comfortable environments without open flames or harmful emissions.
Discover the Radialight infrared lamp range for outdoor spaces: elegant, powerful and efficient.
Advantages of electric heating lamps
Instant, targeted heat
Infrared lamps heat people and objects directly, not the air, reducing heat loss and ensuring immediate comfort.
Safety and zero emissions
No gas bottles, no open flames and zero carbon monoxide emissions: a safe solution for public venues and private homes.
Lower operating costs
For the same level of heat, the running cost of an infrared lamp is significantly lower than that of gas heaters. For example, a 2000 W unit consumes around €0.40 per hour, compared to the 15–18 hours of autonomy of a 15 kg gas cylinder costing between €45 and €50.
Design and versatility
Radialight lamps are elegant, modern, available in two colours and perfect as outdoor design elements. They can be installed in three different ways: wall-mounted (horizontal or fixed to outdoor structures), suspended from the ceiling, or on a freestanding base, adapting to any outdoor space.

How infrared heating lamps work
Infrared lamps operate through thermal radiation. Unlike traditional systems that heat the air, these devices emit waves in the short- or medium-wave infrared spectrum, transferring heat directly to the human body.
Infrared waves are absorbed by people, walls and objects and converted into heat. This results in targeted heating, higher efficiency and lower energy consumption.
Why they reduce energy waste
- Heat is not dispersed into cold air.
- Only the areas actually in use are heated.
- Immediate comfort is possible even in open or windy environments.
Tips for effective installation
To achieve uniform warmth, position the lamps around the area to be heated and direct them towards the centre of the space.
A single lamp may leave some areas cold. Using at least two lamps allows heat to be distributed evenly, just like in an indoor environment.
Choosing the right power output
- Outdoor areas exposed to wind: 500–1000 W/m²
- Enclosed verandas: 200–300 W/m², depending on insulation quality
