Restaurant Patio Heaters

Yes. Infrared heat lamps designed for comfort heating, such as those used in Solaira and Fostoria heaters, are built for outdoor and semi-outdoor use. They provide instant radiant heat without warming the surrounding air, making them highly effective for open-air restaurant patios, covered terraces, and stadium seating areas even in cold or windy conditions.

Replacement infrared lamps for outdoor patio heaters typically range from about $44 to $153 per lamp depending on wattage, voltage, and lamp type. Fostoria medium-wave replacement lamps start at $44.00, while short-wave models go up to $152.90. Solaira replacement lamps are priced between $108.90 and $119.90. Volume pricing is also available.

Short-wave infrared lamps produce higher intensity heat with instant response, making them ideal for spot heating on exposed patios. Medium-wave lamps emit a softer, more diffused heat better suited for enclosed or semi-enclosed dining areas. Both types are available with gold glare-reduction coatings to minimize visual discomfort for diners.

Fannon Products' replacement infrared lamps are engineered for 5,000+ hours of service life with good resistance to thermal shock. This extended lifespan reduces replacement frequency and maintenance costs for restaurants and commercial venues, making them a cost-effective solution for ongoing outdoor comfort heating needs.

Fannon Products offers replacement lamps compatible with a wide range of Solaira models including Alpha Series, SCOSYAW, SCOSYXL, and Riviera Series. For Fostoria, compatible models include the MM Series, 222/223 Series, 342/343 Series, 462/463 Series, FFH Series, CH Series, Trimline, and OCH Series heaters.

Short-wave lamps are available in 208V, 240V, 277V, 480V, 575V, and 600V. Medium-wave lamps cover 120V to 480V. This broad range ensures compatibility with commercial restaurant installations of all sizes.
