Kelray Outdoor Infrared Heater - ID-50 (5000W)
Reliable shipping
Flexible returns
Stay for another conversation. 5,000W with two heat settings.
An outdoor meal does not have to end when the plates are cleared. The Kelray ID-50 brings 5,000W of electric infrared heat to outdoor dining and lounge settings, with two replaceable quartz elements and half- or full-power operation when separately switched. Its 316 stainless steel body pairs everyday outdoor living with a focus on lasting ownership.
- 5,000W output from two replaceable quartz elements
- 240V supply with a rated current of 20.8A
- Approximate coverage: 15 × 11 ft (4.5 × 3.25 m) in a partially enclosed setting
- Wall, ceiling or flush mounting to suit your layout
- Limited five-year heater-body warranty; separate reflector and element terms apply
Warmth at the heart of your gathering space
Plan the ID-50 around the table or lounge setting where everyone comes together. Its two 2,500W elements give you a choice of 2,500W or 5,000W operation with suitable wiring and controls. That flexibility belongs in the heating plan alongside mounting position, exposure and the area you want to enjoy.
The ID-50 has the same 1,010 mm body length as the ID-40, with higher total output. The ID-60 steps up to a longer body and a different coverage estimate. Choosing between them is about matching the installation to your gathering space, with the same 316 stainless steel and serviceable-element approach across the range.
Infrared heat warms people and surfaces in its path. Position the heater over or toward the area you actually use. Wind, mounting height and the openness of the space affect comfort and coverage.

Plan your installation
Send us a photo of your gathering space, the table or seating-area dimensions, mounting height and number of open sides. We will help check the ID-50 layout, number of heaters and control arrangement. Coverage is a planning estimate, not a guaranteed temperature or a substitute for the installation clearances.
Keep the heater's long axis horizontal. Flush mounting requires the purpose-designed recess kit and a firebox rated for at least one hour. Your electrician must follow the installation manual and local requirements for wiring, protection and clearances. Confirm mounting height with Kelray before installation.
With suitable wiring and separate switching, the two elements can provide half- or full-power operation. Discuss controls and mounting accessories when planning your system.
