The BaskZone® 1.5kW shortwave infrared heat emitter is ideal for use in animal and reptile enclosures.
Research shows that the wavelengths of infrared produced by BaskZone® heaters are very similar to those of the sun. These wavelengths are readily absorbed into the animal’s body, warming skin and muscle tissue, and encouraging natural basking behaviour.
A single BaskZone® heater mounted at 1.5m will create a superb, effective basking zone warm enough even for tropical species:
Larger basking zones can be created with multiple BaskZone® heaters. Output from BaskZone® heaters can also be overlapped to create very high temperature basking zones.
To regulate heat output for a complete and versatile basking zone solution use BaskZone® heaters in conjunction with our simple to use range of controls.
Supplied in black with a tilt & swivel mounting bracket, front safety grille and 5m cable. Linking plates are included to join BaskZone® heaters together to make large arrays.
| Size of basking zone | Min. temperature |
| 1.6m x 1.25m | 35°C |
| 1.0m x 1.0m | 37.5°C |
| 0.75 x 0.75m | 37.5 to 40°C |

Our most popular controller for the lower powered range of infrared heaters, very competitively priced, now updated and improved! The CC2 Energy-saving Comfort Controller enables the heat output from up to 1.5kW of SunSwitch infrared heaters to be manually adjusted for complete comfort while also providing a soft-start to maximise element life. Without this form of control, your infrared heaters will always be running at maximum power. With the CC2,it has a 5 step output – off / Low/ Medium / High / Full, enabling gentle background warmth to be provided from under 2p per hour. When turned down, the CC2 saves energy which,in the long run, more than offsets the purchase price. And because your heaters will be running cooler, they will last much longer. So you win all round. The CC2 is extremely simple to install with just neutral, live and earth inputs, and connections to the heater/s.
