IR Terrarium Heater

FIELD-PROVEN

Installed at Universeum, Gothenburg

Universeum in Gothenburg is Scandinavia's largest science centre. An InfraVivo IR Terrarium Heater with a black powder-coated finish was installed there for the poison dart frog vivarium, providing gentle, sun-like warmth for the animals. The video below shows the installation in use.

Long-wave infrared technology (FIR)

How FIR heat works

FIR Technology vs other heating methods FIR-teknik jämfört med annan värmeteknik

Our terrarium IR technology uses FIR heat — long-wave infrared radiation that mimics the sun's natural warmth. It creates gentle thermal comfort zones, ideal for reptiles, birds and small animals.
