1200W Black Infrared Bar Heater for Wall or Ceiling Mounting
The RADI8 1200W black infrared bar heater is a compact radiant heating solution designed for smaller rooms, workspaces and targeted heating zones. Its slim profile combines a useful 1200W output with flexible wall or ceiling mounting, making it ideal where you want effective infrared heating without installing a larger bar heater.
Using far infrared technology, the heater delivers radiant warmth towards people and surrounding surfaces rather than relying on fans to circulate heated air. This makes it well suited to garages, workshops, conservatories, garden rooms, commercial premises and other spaces where targeted radiant heating is required.
This is the standard 1200W model without a built-in thermostat, Wi-Fi or remote control. Instead, it can be paired with a separate heating control, giving you greater flexibility when planning individual heating zones or installations involving multiple infrared heaters.
Finished in black with a slim aluminium body, the heater provides a discreet permanent heating solution and is backed by a 10-year RADI8 warranty.
Compact 1200W Infrared Heating
The 1200W model provides a compact alternative to the higher-output heaters within the RADI8 infrared bar heater range. Its smaller dimensions make it particularly useful where available wall or ceiling space is limited or where heat needs to be concentrated within a smaller occupied area.
Its slim aluminium construction keeps the installation unobtrusive, while the black finish works particularly well in contemporary, commercial and industrial-style interiors.
Far Infrared Radiant Heating
Infrared heating works differently from conventional convection heating. Rather than primarily heating and circulating the surrounding air, the heater emits radiant energy towards people and surfaces within the heated area.
This makes the 1200W infrared bar heater particularly useful for targeted heating applications where warmth is required within a specific room, workspace or occupied zone.
Where Can the 1200W Bar Heater Be Used?
Its compact dimensions and flexible mounting options make this model suitable for a wide variety of domestic and commercial applications, including:
Garages and smaller workshops
Conservatories and garden rooms
Studios and workspaces
Retail and commercial premises
Cafés and hospitality environments
Targeted heating zones within larger spaces
Wall or Ceiling Mounted
The heater can be installed on a suitable wall or ceiling, allowing the radiant output to be directed towards the area where warmth is required while keeping valuable floor space completely clear.
This provides flexibility when planning the heating around furniture, equipment and available wall space, and can be particularly useful in garages, workshops and commercial environments.
Silent, Light-Free Radiant Warmth
The RADI8 1200W bar heater delivers infrared warmth without fans continuously circulating air around the space and without the visible red glow associated with some short-wave infrared heaters.
With no fan or motor required to distribute the heat, operation is quiet and ongoing maintenance requirements are minimal.
Compatible with External Smart Controls
This standard model does not contain a built-in thermostat, Wi-Fi controller or remote control. Instead, it can be paired with a compatible external thermostat, allowing the heating controls to be planned around the requirements of the room or wider installation.
For room temperature control, programmable heating schedules and Wi-Fi app control, pair the heater with our
Netmostat Smart Thermostat,
available separately.
Alternatively, if you prefer the thermostat, Wi-Fi connectivity and remote control to be integrated directly into the heater, choose the RADI8 1200W bar heater with built-in thermostat and Wi-Fi.
Installation & Electrical Connection
The heater should be installed on a suitable wall or ceiling in accordance with the supplied installation instructions, required mounting clearances and applicable electrical requirements.
For a permanent heating installation, professional electrical installation is recommended. Where the heater is being incorporated into an external thermostat or multi-heater control system, the electrical arrangement should be planned and installed by a suitably qualified electrician.
For outdoor applications, the heater must only be installed in a fully covered and enclosed area, protected from direct rain and weather exposure. Always follow the mounting clearances and installation requirements in the supplied manual.
10-Year RADI8 Warranty
RADI8 infrared bar heaters are designed as long-term heating solutions for domestic and commercial applications. This 1200W model is backed by a 10-year warranty, providing additional reassurance when investing in your infrared heating system.
Is 1200W the Right Output for My Space?
The correct heater output depends on more than floor area alone. Room dimensions, ceiling height, insulation, glazing, building construction, airflow and intended use can all affect the total heating requirement.

They come with brackets for easy wall and ceiling mounting. The brackets are also adjustable, meaning you can tilt the heater to the desired angle. As there are no moving parts, there is no maintenance required. They can be cleaned with a damp cloth when switched off
This 1200w bar heater comes with a 13 Amp 3 pin plug, however, we do recommend hardwiring it to your mains via a fused spur
Safety is paramount, which is why our heaters come equipped with advanced safety features such as overheat protection and compliance with industry standards (CE, UKCA, TüV, GS). The bar heaters can reach a surface temperature of approximately 200-300˚C, significantly hotter than traditional radiators, therefore they must be installed safely out of reach above 1.8 meters, eliminating any risk of accidental burns.

From everyday living spaces to demanding commercial environments,
infrared heating provides a flexible heating solution across a wide
range of applications.
01
Commercial applications
Practical infrared heating for commercial, industrial
and specialist environments.
Infrared heating works differently from conventional
convection heating. Rather than relying primarily on warming
and circulating the air, infrared transfers radiant heat
directly to people and surfaces within the room.
These surfaces absorb the radiant energy and gradually release
warmth back into the space, helping create a comfortable and
consistent heating environment.
With no fans or forced-air circulation, infrared heaters operate
silently while delivering comfortable radiant warmth into the space.
A modern approach to heating that combines radiant comfort,
individual room control and a discreet, space-saving design.
Efficient Heating
Radiant heat can be directed where it is needed rather than
relying solely on warming and circulating the air.
No Forced Air
With no fans required, infrared heating avoids the continuous
forced-air circulation associated with many conventional systems.
Radiant Comfort
Infrared warms people and surrounding surfaces directly,
creating a comfortable radiant warmth throughout the space.
Individual Room Control
Divide heating into zones so individual rooms or areas can
be controlled according to how and when they are used.
Responsive Warmth
Radiant warmth is delivered directly into the occupied space once
the heater reaches operating temperature, without relying on
forced-air circulation.
Low Maintenance
With no pumps, fans or complex moving components in the heater,
ongoing maintenance requirements are minimal.
Silent Operation
No fans or motors means heating operates silently, making
infrared particularly suited to bedrooms, offices and quiet spaces.
Warms Surfaces
By warming walls and other surfaces directly, infrared can
help keep surface temperatures warmer within the heated space.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions.
Helpful answers to some of the most common questions about
choosing, installing and using infrared heating.
01
How do I calculate what wattage I need?
The heating requirement depends on factors including room
dimensions, insulation, construction and intended use. Use our
Wattage Calculator
to calculate the recommended heating requirement for your space.
02
Can infrared heaters be used in bathrooms?
Certain infrared heaters can be suitable for bathroom
installations. The correct product and IP rating must be selected
for the intended location, and installation must comply with
applicable electrical requirements. Where required, installation
should be completed by a suitably qualified electrician.
03
How much does infrared heating cost to run?
Running cost depends on the heater wattage, your electricity
tariff and how long the heater operates. For example, a 1kW
heater uses 1kWh of electricity when operating continuously at
full power for one hour. Thermostatic controls can cycle the
heater on and off as required to maintain the selected room
temperature.
04
Do I need an electrician to install my heater?
This depends on the heater and installation method. Suitable
plug-in models can simply connect to an appropriate socket.
Hardwired installations, bathroom installations and electrical
connections that form part of the fixed wiring should be
completed by a suitably qualified electrician.
05
Are infrared heaters suitable for homes with children and pets?
Infrared heating is widely used in residential environments,
but heaters can become hot during operation. Every heater should
be installed, positioned and used in accordance with its
instructions, with appropriate consideration given to children,
pets and the surrounding space.
06
Can infrared heating help with condensation and damp?
Infrared heating warms people and surfaces directly, which can
help maintain warmer surface temperatures and may help reduce
conditions that contribute to surface condensation. However,
damp and mould can have several causes, including ventilation,
moisture and building defects, so heating alone should not be
considered a solution to every damp or mould problem.
