Infrared lamps : faites le bon choix

The infrared lamp delivers controlled warmth to enhance your indoor comfort.

Infrared lamps are a smart technical choice for targeted lighting and spot heating, whether in bathrooms, relaxation areas or professional spaces. They emit gentle radiant heat without dazzling or drying the air. Available in various wattages, usually from 150 to 500 watts, their compact designs (20 to 40 cm long) suit both wall-mounted and freestanding installation. Their light spectrum, between 780 and 1400 nm, prioritises heat over visible light, distinguishing them from standard lamps.

Which type of infrared lamp is best for your needs?

Quartz infrared lamps: Perfect for rapid heat-up, quartz lamps offer instant efficiency. Ideal for bathrooms or corridors, they work well with 250 to 400 W in spaces of 5 to 8 m². The 10 to 15 mm quartz tube ensures even heat and roughly 5000 hours of use.

Ceramic infrared lamps: More robust, these lamps withstand humidity and temperature shifts. Their diffuse heat is ideal for wellbeing spaces or workshops. For 8 to 12 m² rooms, choose 300 to 500 W. Ceramic is also low maintenance, as it collects less dust.

Halogen infrared lamps: These provide instant warmth and extra light, making them popular in modern bathrooms for both comfort and visibility. Halogen models usually have a colour temperature near 2200 K, producing warm, pleasant light and averaging 7000 hours of life.

As a secondary bedroom light, an infrared lamp can complement a bedside lamp, offering localised heat without disturbing the ambient lighting.

How high and how powerful should an infrared lamp be installed?

Install height and wattage depend on the area to be heated. In bathrooms, fit the lamp 1.8 m above the floor and angle it towards the desired zone. A 250 W lamp is enough for a 4 to 6 m² shower or basin area. Larger rooms need 400 to 500 W at a 2 m height for best coverage.

In workshops or conservatories, infrared lamps should be installed 2.2 m above the floor with 400 to 600 W for spaces up to 12 m². Ensure a 30 cm clearance all around to prevent overheating. IP24 or IP44 models are advised for damp rooms to protect against water splashes.

For a contemporary look, combine an infrared lamp with a modern ceiling light to separate general lighting and spot heating, while keeping a sleek design.

How can you integrate an infrared lamp into your décor?

Although often seen as technical, infrared lamps can blend seamlessly into stylish interiors. White or chrome models match designer wall lights for a minimalist look. Compact versions under 30 cm are easy to tuck above mirrors or worktops for discreet heating.

In relaxation zones, pair an infrared lamp with soft lighting such as a table lamp in fabric or glass, gently warming up the area without changing the mood lighting. Choose models with a dimmer to adjust heat according to the season or time of day.

Infrared lamps are easy to maintain: dust the tube or ceramic plate regularly with a dry cloth, and check for limescale if used in bathrooms. An annual check of the bracket and wiring ensures safe use.

In kitchens, infrared lamps can supplement a kitchen light by providing direct warmth for work surfaces or prep zones, and remain discreet with their small footprint.
