Aktobis WDH-180DS Infrared Dark Heater – 2400 Watts

Powerful dark heater with no visible heating light for indoor and outdoor areas

The Aktobis WDH-180DS infrared dark heater is a powerful 2400-watt infrared heater that provides warmth without generating any visible light. This robust dark heater is ideal for patios, balconies, conservatories, workshops, garages, showrooms, and numerous commercial applications. With two heat settings, a remote control, and a timer, you can control the warmth comfortably and precisely.

Unlike traditional heaters with visibly glowing heating tubes, the WDH-180DS dark heater operates with virtually no visible heating light. The warmth is delivered precisely over an area of up to approximately 2.5 meters. This makes the dark heater particularly suitable for areas where a visible heating tube or bright heating light is undesirable.

Important power information for Switzerland:
Due to its high power consumption of 2400 watts, the WDH-180DS is equipped with a T23 plug. Operation requires a socket fused with at least 13 A, preferably 16 A. The device is not suitable for standard 10 A household sockets.

What is a dark heater?

A dark heater, also known as a black heater, generates heat without a brightly visible glowing heating tube. The heat is delivered as radiant heat directly to people, objects, and surfaces, rather than primarily heating the ambient air.

The WDH-180DS is therefore particularly attractive for applications where pleasant warmth is desired, but visible heating light would be distracting. Examples include patios, balconies, conservatories, showrooms, workspaces, and workshops.

2400 watts of heating power with two heat settings

The WDH-180DS offers two power levels. Depending on the desired warmth, you can choose between 1200 watts and 2400 watts, allowing the heating power to be flexibly adapted to the situation at hand.

Heat setting Power consumption
Setting 1 1200 watts
Setting 2 2400 watts

The high maximum power output allows for intensive and targeted heat delivery. For lower heat output or more economical operation, the first heat setting can be used.

Warmth without visible heating light

A major advantage of the WDH-180DS dark heater is its operation without disturbing visible heating light. This makes the unit suitable for areas where a classic red-glowing infrared heater is aesthetically undesirable.

Ideal for sensitive lighting environments:
The dark heater generates warmth without brightening the room with a brightly glowing heating tube. This makes it suitable, for example, for patios, sales areas, workplaces, and other locations where a discreet heat source is desired.

Flexible wall and ceiling mounting

The WDH-180DS can be mounted both on a wall and on the ceiling. The corresponding mounting material for both types of installation is already included in the delivery.

Due to its fixed installation, the heater can be aimed precisely at the desired heating area. This is particularly practical for workplaces, seating areas, patios, balconies, and commercial applications.

Dark heater for patios and balconies

The WDH-180DS is excellent for targeted heating of patios, balconies, and sheltered outdoor areas. Radiant heat can be used where conventional space heating would be inefficient due to air movement or open areas.

Thanks to its IP55 protection rating, the device is protected against dust and water jets from various directions. For permanent outdoor use, however, the specific mounting location should be chosen so that the operating conditions of the device are maintained.

Suitable for workshops, garages, and commercial use

The WDH-180DS can also be a practical solution for targeted spot heating in workshops, garages, halls, storage areas, showrooms, and commercial workplaces. Instead of laboriously heating an entire room, heat can be concentrated on a specific area.

  • Workstations in workshops
  • Garages and hobby rooms
  • Sales and exhibition areas
  • Patios and balconies
  • Conservatories
  • Storage and utility rooms
  • Agricultural areas
  • Commercial and industrial workplaces

Convenient control with remote and timer

The included remote control allows for comfortable operation of the dark heater from a distance. Additionally, the WDH-180DS features a timer function with up to 5 hours of remaining runtime.

This allows the heater to be set for a specific duration of use, for example, without having to turn it off manually after the desired time has elapsed.

Silent operation

The WDH-180DS operates without any disturbing fan noise. Since the heat is not distributed via an airflow, the dark heater is particularly suitable for quiet work and living areas.

This can be advantageous for patios, conservatories, showrooms, workshops, or at workplaces, for example.

IP55 protection rating for demanding areas

With an IP55 protection rating, the WDH-180DS is protected against harmful amounts of dust as well as water jets from any angle. This makes it particularly suitable for sheltered outdoor areas and commercial applications where increased durability is required.

Awards and certifications

  • Heimwerker Praxis: The WDH-180DS was awarded a grade of 1.9 (good) in the "Price/Performance" category, issue 06/2022.
  • Dekra GS: Tested safety.

Who is the WDH-180DS suitable for?

The Aktobis WDH-180DS dark heater is suitable for anyone looking for a powerful yet unobtrusive heat source. This dark heater is especially interesting for areas where a visible heating tube is undesirable or targeted spot heating is required.

Particularly suitable for:
Patios, balconies, conservatories, workshops, garages, showrooms, halls, storage areas, workplaces, agriculture, and commercial or industrial applications.

Important note on electrical fusing

With a maximum output of 2400 watts, the WDH-180DS requires an appropriately designed power supply. In Switzerland, the device is operated with a T23 plug. The socket or circuit used must be suitable and sufficiently fused for the required current intensity.

The dark heater is therefore not intended for standard 10 A household sockets. If there is any uncertainty regarding the existing electrical installation, a professional inspection should be carried out before commissioning.
