ELX ELEMENT OPTIONS
Selecting the right element for your space is important. The ELX Series can be customized with four different element types: medium wave, high-output medium wave, clear short wave, and ruby short wave. Understanding the differences between these elements is key to creating your perfect heater.

Medium wave elements produce a soft, orange glow after reaching operating temperature. There is almost no visible light on walls or at the ground level. They typically have around half the wattage output of the other element types. Standard medium wave elements are perfect for restaurant patios and other areas where light is not needed.

High-output medium wave elements produce a mild white light while operating. Light is visible on walls and at the ground level, but is around 30 percent less bright than a typical short wave element. However, high-output medium wave elements have an output equal to their short wave counterparts, making them the preferred choice for spot heating, outdoor patios, and other applications where more heat is required but the short wave elements’ intense brightness is not.

Clear short wave elements have a high heat output and produce a bright, white light that is very visible on walls and at ground level. They are commonly used for spot heating, indoor and outdoor commercial applications, valet waiting areas, and other spaces where a lot of visible light is desired in addition to a high heat output.
