The BaskZone® 1.5kW shortwave infrared heat emitters are 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 |
CC3 6kW Energy-saving Comfort Controller – Manual
• Convenient 10-step instant heat adjustment
• Saves energy when heat is turned down
• IP65 rated – for use indoors, outdoors or in humid environments
• Easy to install
• Can be run from a 13A plug for loads below 3kW
• Soft-start – extends life of infrared heater elements by up to 30%
• Optional temperature, PIR and time based control (see below)
• Works with any SunSwitch heater/s up to a maximum overall load of 6kW
This CC3 Energy-saving Comfort Controller enables the heat output from up to 6kW of SunSwitch infrared heaters to be manually adjusted for complete comfort control, while also providing a soft-start to maximise element life. The advanced phase angle circuit has been specially developed for use with quartz halogen heating. When turned down, the CC3 also reduces energy consumption which, in the long run, more than offsets the purchase price.
The CC3 features a soft-start circuit that brings the heaters on gently. This optimises the life of the infrared elements and eliminates nuisance tripping caused by inductive current rush. Optional accessories that automate control and provide additional energy-savings include temperature and PIR sensors. With the optional temperature sensor, if the ambient temperature exceeds the set point, the heater/s are switched off. The PIR volt-free contact can also be wired to a conventional heating time programmer so the heating will switch on and off automatically at scheduled times.
