That's absolutely fantastic to hear! We're so thrilled you're loving your new Infrared Heater and that its sleek design, power, quiet operation, and safety features are all hitting the mark for you. We're delighted you're very happy with your purchase!
I absolutely love this heater - we have a wood stove at home but often my hubby is at golf or away and I am too lazy to fight with making a fire and up until now I have been using our old 3 bar gas heater. It’s heavy and difficult to move around but has served us well for 30+ years and then I was told of the Lite-House heater which ticks all the boxes. It’s instant heat, and can be moved with one hand. We haven’t used it outside at our pool yet but that’s our next party plan. On Saturday for the rugby we used it because it was to windy in PE our wood stove would have struggled with the smoke, our new heater kept all 8 of us warm during the game and then continued its good work in the dining room afterwards. I am beyond happy and plan to buy another one for our holiday home as well. Thank you Lite-House. By the way our two dogs think it’s fabulous too!

The whole family loves our heater so much! It warms up the room so nicely and doesn’t use much electricity! Even considering getting one more unit!
Best product, best company! Will recommend 1000%

A wonderful addition to our home - the instant heat is incredible & even the low settings provide so much warmth!
It’s such a hit that my son is begging for one in his Jhb apartment- looks like a second order will be placed soon!

Heater works better than I expected. It arrived as planned, well packaged with everything in the box thaat you need to assemble the unit (screws, tools etc).
Very excited that it comes with a protective cover when not in use. It creates immediate heat when switched on and has a function to make it oscillate (max 90 degree). Found no real impact on my electricty consumption (on 3 bars)
My dogs are glued to the heater !
Do agree with a previous post, that the red light is very bright. I don't mind as long is there is no impact on human and animal eyes.

This is the best heater I have ever bought. My apartment is south facing and freezing in the winter. We switch this heater on at night before we sleep to warm up the room. Then we switch it off. In the morning, when we get out bed, that icy chill air is no longer icy chilled. The heater has contained the warmth, making it a pleasant to get out of bed. Best buy ever!!! Has also helped improve my husband's sinuses. Just amazing

Absolutely love this heater. Unlike old fan heaters that take ages to warm up a room, this one gives you sun-like warmth within seconds. It looks sleek and architectural, so you don't feel the need to hide it away when guests come over. The remote control, 8 different heat settings, and oscillation feature make it incredibly customisable. Highly recommend!

Easy to assemble and feels solid. Favourite features are that it does give instant warm and it silent. Cats approve to! They never sat infront of the previous fan heater. We have found, with our larger rooms, it does need to be on the highest setting to warm the room/if you are not sitting right next to it. But once it's turned off you can absolutely feel it was on. The heat disappears from the room - in any setting.

Such a perfect peace of art. Works as advertised, wish it was possible to project it towards the floor to deal directly with the cold feet. I could have given it 5 stars, unfortunately I’m light sensitive and cannot stand the glow coming from heat projection plate when the heater is placed directly in front of me.

Bought two lights and this one doesn't work, so I dont know if I should return it or what must I do with it ?
Store owner replied:
Hi Reuben, we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience. This is not the level of service we aim for, and we’d love the chance to make it right. We'll send you an email shortly!
This review is long overdue. Our first infrared heater developed a fault, but the Litehouse team handled the situation professionally and without any hesitation. They collected the faulty heater and replaced it promptly, making the entire process quick and hassle-free.
We are extremely grateful for the excellent customer service we received. The replacement heater has been working perfectly, and we can confidently say that this has been a great purchase. It's reassuring to know that Litehouse stands behind its products, and we would happily recommend both the heater and the company.

Thank you for the glowing review, Stephen✨We’re so happy you love your lights!
I've always been a gas heater advocate, but recently developed an unexpected fear of using one. As a result, I actually froze through Johannesburg's last cold front rather than switch it on. That pushed me to find a safer alternative, and I'm so glad I did — this infrared heater keeps me just as warm, but with the added bonus of feeling safer and more at ease using it.

I am really happy with my infrared heater. Not only does it provide us with the much needed heat during the cold winter season but also not to heavy on the pockets. I actually waited a month before posting my review because I wanted to see how it affect my electricity account. And to my surprise is was actually less than when I use my old heated. I mostly keep it on 3-4 bars as it gets the job done. Today I've tried the heater in an outdoor setting and was very impressed. Loved it ❤

I really love my infrared heater. It is so warm. It instantly heats up my space and is so sleek and stylish, which is so unlike the traditional heaters I’ve had. My Jack Russell Chloe is particularly fond of it and can be found sitting right next to it whenever it is on. Full marks, Lighthouse!

I love my litehouse heater with its practical dust over for the hotter months. The best part is the instant radiating heat with no waiting time to feel the warmth.
A great asset to any home and any hospitality establishment!

I absolutely adored this heater! I had it for one day and I bought a second one. It’s like sitting in the sun. Not to mention my cat that absolutely adores it!!! And I love that you can sit with all the doors open, lots of fresh air, doesn’t feel stuffy and I don’t get tired when I’m working. Best heater ever!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much electricity does our Infrared heaters really use?
Let’s break it down — no jargon, just the facts. The Litehouse Infrared Heater is rated at 2000W, which means at full power, it uses about R5 an hour (based on SA rates) to run. But here’s the part most people don’t realise: You probably won’t need it on full power all the time. This heater has 8 heat levels, so you can dial it down when you just want to take the edge off.
On half power? That’s about R2.50 an hour. On the lowest setting? Closer to R1.50 or less. That’s because infrared heating is smart — it warms you directly, not the air around you. So you feel the heat faster, and you don’t need to keep it running for hours to get comfy.
Compare that to old-school oil heaters or fan heaters that run for ages, use more electricity, and often don’t even do the job outdoors…
Infrared is quieter, faster, and more efficient. And in a world of rising costs and load-shedding, every bit of smart energy use counts.
Can I use this heater outdoors?
Yes! This heater is IP45-rated, meaning it’s weatherproof and designed for covered outdoor spaces like patios, braai areas, verandas, or balconies. Just avoid placing it where it’ll be exposed to heavy rain.
Does it heat the air or people directly?
Unlike traditional heaters, this infrared heater warms people and objects directly, not just the air. That’s why it feels warm within seconds — even outdoors where hot air would usually escape.
Is this heater energy efficient?
Yes, it’s very energy-efficient. Because it provides instant, targeted warmth, you don’t need to run it as long as convection heaters. It also has 8 heat levels, so you can reduce power use when full heat isn’t needed.
Can I run it on solar or off-the-grid power?
It’s an electric heater, so it does require plug-in power. However, it’s more compatible with solar/inverter setups than many other heaters, especially when used at lower settings (e.g., 500W–1000W). Many off-grid users love it for that reason.
Is it safe to use around kids or pets?
Yes, safety was a top priority in the design. It includes a tip-over safety switch and the front grid cools quickly after use. Like any heater, it should be placed out of reach and used responsibly, but it’s safer than open flame or fan heaters.
Does it make any noise while running?
No — it’s completely silent. There’s no fan or motor, so it won’t disturb your sleep, conversations, or work.
What’s the warranty and return policy?
Your heater is backed by a 2-year warranty for peace of mind. If you’re not 100% satisfied, we’re here to help with returns or support.
Our customer support is available Monday to Friday: 8am-4:30pm.
