Heliosa short-wave infrared offers the only effective instant heating solution for bathrooms with high ceilings
Improve your winter bathroom comfort with a Heliosa short-wave infrared heater
The Heliosa 11 short-wave infrared heater is the perfect choice for heating a high ceiling bathroom. High-ceiling bathrooms are difficult to warm and there is nothing worse than emerging from your hot shower, or from a hot bath, into a cold room! The solution is short-wave infrared technology which directly warms people and surfaces keeping walls and floors warm — even when the extractor fan is running or the window is open. This bathroom heater also helps reduce dampness and condensation, which is beneficial for your health.
With instant, targeted warmth, there’s no waiting for the room to heat up—just switch it on and feel immediate comfort. Plus, its energy-efficient design ensures you use heat only when needed, reducing power waste. The Heliosa 11 bathroom heater is suitable only where you can mount the heater at an angle at least 2 metres off the ground (any lower and you need to add one of our power controllers).
Say goodbye to chilly mornings and explore our range of Heliosa short-wave bathroom heaters in particular the Heliosa 11.

Frequently Asked Questions – Heliosa Short-wave Infrared Heaters
How do Short-Wave Infrared Heaters work?
Heliosa short-wave infrared heaters work by generating intense bursts of radiant heat in the form of short-wave infrared radiation. The heater uses the patented parabolic reflector and InFraCaLoR® halogen lamp that rapidly heats up when electricity is applied to it (within 1 second of switching on). Our short-wave infrared heaters emit focused infrared radiation that directly heats objects and people within their range. This rapid and efficient heating process ensures that you feel warmth almost instantly, making them ideal for outdoor and large indoor spaces.
How effective are Short-wave infrared heaters?
Multiply the heater’s rated kilowatts by your electricity kilowatt-hour rate. While costs are similar to most heaters on the market, consider radiant efficiency for optimal results. Short-wave infrared heaters, boasting 92% radiant efficiency, deliver more heat per kilowatt-hour. This efficiency is crucial for outdoor spaces, making them a more effective and economical choice.
How many heaters do I need?
The ideal number depends on factors like your outdoor space size, desired temperature, and heater coverage. Calculate wattage based on space and insulation, with one Heliosa 66 heater covering up to 20m².

How long does it take to heat a space after installing a Heliosa Infrared Heater?
You typically do not need to pre-heat your space after installing a Heliosa infrared heater. These heaters emit radiant heat that warms objects and people directly, without the need to warm the surrounding air first. This means you can enjoy immediate warmth as soon as you turn on the heater. It’s a quick and efficient heating solution, making it unnecessary to wait for the entire space to reach a certain temperature before feeling comfortable.
How often do I replace the bulbs?
The InFraCaLoR® halogen lamps used in Heliosa heaters can be replaced, and we hold stocks for replacement. However, the manufacturer suggests a life of up to 7000 hours, depending on usage patterns. This effectively means that within a residential environment, they last many years.
How do I control the heaters?
Most outdoor applications do not require a controller when using Heliosa short-wave infrared heaters because of the instant heat. Heliosa can be installed with controllers or timers, offering greater flexibility and efficiency in usage – adjusting the heat output, or setting a timer to switch off the heater automatically.
Are there any Heliosa heaters with no light emission or ‘glow’?
Heliosa heaters use short-wave infrared waves to warm up surroundings. Short-wave infrared waves are closer to the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Therefore, while operating, some energy is used to emit light and the rest to provide instant, powerful heat. This visible light is actually less than 6% of the total output.
Testimonials
I never thought a heater could change my life, but the Heliosa 11 short wave infrared bathroom heater did exactly that. We live in the Hills and have a bathroom with a raked ceiling. For most of the year, but especially in winter, we would step into the bathroom and turn on the old Clipsal bar heater and then wait for ten minutes as it turned on and eventually gave out some heat. The change to a short-wave infrared heater could not have been more different. No waiting around – switch on and the bathroom is bathed in light and you can immediately feel the heat radiating off your body, whether you are wet or dry. No more shivering after a morning shower! If you have a high roof, or angled ceiling, or just a large bathroom, I recommend replacing your old bathroom heater with a Heliosa!
The radiant heat certainly warms my wife and I when we get out of the spa on the open deck. Big test will be over winter down here. In Launceston, where single figure temperatures can be guaranteed.
