Detroit Radiant ELD Series electric heaters here run 24 to 60 inches long, with two elements in each bar-shaped housing. This dual element electric infrared heater uses glowing quartz elements behind a grille. It warms people and surfaces directly rather than warming the air, and the maker says a specially designed reflector aims the radiant heat output at the seating. Choose the length for your seating area, then match the elements and mounting height to your space.


What the Detroit Radiant ELD offers

Two elements sit side by side, giving more heat per foot than a single element ELX. Built in Michigan, these heaters have black powder coated steel or brushed stainless steel housings. Radiant heat warms like sunshine. Explore the electric patio range, all Detroit Radiant heaters or our infrared patio heaters for alternatives.

Choose a length

The ELD 24 inch suits a small seating area or doorway, while the ELD 33 inch suits wider seating, both with ceiling mounting as low as 6 feet. The ELD 46 inch suits a wide table or long bar at 7 feet minimum, while the ELD 60 inch suits a long bar or bench beneath a ceiling at least 8 feet high. Consider the ELX series for one, two or three elements instead.

Elements, light and wiring

Choose medium wave elements with high output for more heat and mild white light, or standard elements for less heat and a softer orange glow. An electrician wires it to the voltage you pick on the page, it is not a plug in heater. Adjustable ceiling brackets are in the box, while the 46 inch takes optional wall brackets. Browse ceiling mounted heaters or wall mounted heaters to compare mounting choices. It is made for outdoor use at home, on a patio or porch rather than inside a room, and the maker also sells it for commercial patios, bars and warehouses.

Your questions answered

How is the ELD different from the ELX?

The ELD pairs two elements for more heat per foot than a single element ELX, and adds a 60 inch length. The ELX offers one, two or three elements in 24, 33 and 46 inch. Choose a fixed pair or your own element count.

Which element option should I choose?

Choose the stronger elements for a cold spot or big table, with mild white light. Standard elements give less heat and a softer glow where you want less light. You can also choose black or brushed stainless steel on the page.

How is an ELD installed?

An electrician wires it to the power you pick on the page, since it is not a plug in heater. Included ceiling brackets allow 24 and 33 inch models at 6 feet, 46 inch at 7 feet and 60 inch at 8 feet minimum. The 46 inch accepts optional wall brackets. Check the manual for your setup before you order a Detroit Radiant ELD.
