Frequently asked questions:
What makes SOLAMAGIC® so different from conventional heating systems?
Thanks to Solamagic's® new technology, you can feel the warmth immediately after switching the heater on. You can direct the heat exactly where you want it and enjoy energy savings of
up to 30 % when compared to a conventional electric heater. Handling the heater becomes safer, easier and more comfortable.
How does SOLAMAGIC® work and what is meant by »Golden Philips HeLeN lamp«?
Philips HeLeN is the name of the infrared lamp, which sends its rays, much like the sun,
directly to people and objects and not into the air so the heat does not dissipate.
How much heat does the heater generate and what surfaces are heated?
SOLAMAGIC® does not heat the air as such; instead the warmth has a direct effect on people
and objects. This can be compared to solar radiation: where it is cooler in the shade than
when directly exposed to the sunlight.
The shape of the polished reflector ensures SOLAMAGIC® heat is distributed evenly.
How do I install the heater?
SOLAMAGIC® can be installed quickly and easily to a wall, ceiling or structure, or on a tripod
without any complicated preparations. Just plug it in and that's it. The heat can be easily
directed with the help of the adjustable bracket.
Do I have to take SOLAMAGIC® indoors during rain and in winter?
Removal of the heater is not necessary. SOLAMAGIC® can remain outdoors during windy and wet weather. The casing is made of weatherproof aluminum and protected against water
splashes to IP 24 (control stamp of the TÜV-GS).
How warm does the casing get?
Can I suffer burns? A special insulation cools down the casing, so that you cannot suffer burns
when touching it. SOLAMAGIC® can even be attached to a wooden structure. The stainless
steel grille on the front panel protects against any tampering with the lamp.
What life expectancy does the Philips HeLeN lamp have?
With an average frequency of use the lamp has a life of up to 15 years of constant heating
output.
What are the operating costs of the SOLAMAGIC®?
Assuming an energy price of € 0.15 - € 0.20/kWh, the operating costs will amount to
€ 0.21 - b 0.28 per hour (1,400 W). The SOLAMAGIC® heater therefore compares
favorably with any other comparable heating solutions.
