Unlike traditional heaters, the Dark Heater uses long-wave infrared technology (IR-C), which warms surfaces and bodies, not the air. Floors, walls, equipment, and horses absorb the heat, creating an even, gentle, and lasting warmth that remains stable even after the heater is switched off.
The heater emits no light at all, staying fully black during operation — a discreet, elegant, and professional solution that blends seamlessly into any equestrian environment, from stables to indoor arenas.
Originally developed for outdoor living spaces, the Dark Heater 1800W is equally effective in equestrian settings where comfort and climate control are essential.
It delivers silent, odour-free heat that instantly improves the environment in:
Grooming and tacking-up areas
Indoor schools and lunging arenas
Wash bays
Tie stalls and vet areas
Tack rooms and feed rooms
Perfect for cold mornings, late-night training sessions, winter grooming, or simply keeping horses and riders comfortable in drafty or partially insulated spaces.
The Dark Heater 1800W is not only a heat source; it also serves as an active moisture reducer. By warming surfaces and materials, it quickly dries out cold, damp, or humid areas — helping prevent:
Condensation
Frost
Mold
Damp smells
Moisture-related damage
This makes it a strong choice for stables, wash stalls, storage areas, tack rooms, and other barn environments where humidity is a recurring issue.
The included remote control gives you complete flexibility. Choose between four power settings:
450W
900W
1350W
1800W
The built-in 8-hour timer ensures safety and energy savings — ideal for arenas or stables where heaters may run for long training sessions, or where staff need convenient automatic shut-off.
Built from powder-coated steel and certified to IP65, the Dark Heater is resistant to water, dust, and barn humidity. It can be safely rinsed around and used in areas with high moisture levels such as wash bays.
Additional features include:
Three heating elements, making it up to 20% more efficient than standard infrared heaters
Ribbed front panel for maximum heat distribution
Advanced insulation to prevent heat loss from the rear
Surface temperature: approx. 200°C front, 90°C back — safe for ceiling or wall installation
Completely silent and odour-free operation — ideal for easily startled horses
