How the Bromic Eclipse Redefines Outdoor Heating: Design, Performance & Installation
Elegance Meets Function in Outdoor Heating
For architects, designers, and homeowners who refuse to compromise, the Bromic Eclipse Smart-Heat™ Electric heater offers a rare blend of form and function. It’s not just about keeping guests warm — it’s about elevating the ambiance, delivering radiant heat, and seamlessly integrating into premium outdoor spaces.
Sleek Design & Dual-Functionality: Heat + Light
One of the Eclipse’s standout features is its ceramic screen fascia, which spreads infrared heat evenly while significantly reducing visible light from the heating element. Built-in dimmable LED lighting surrounds the fixture, enabling you to softly illuminate your space while heating. It’s precisely this dual-purpose design — heating + lighting — that sets the Eclipse apart.

Bromic gives you flexibility to adapt the Eclipse to many configurations:
- Pendant / Twin Pole: Comes standard with a 24" twin pole pendant mount, ideal for hanging straight down.
- Ceiling Mount: Choose from straight or curved ceiling poles (8", 24", 48") to suit ceiling heights or aesthetics.
- Wall Mount: A wall-mount pole option is available for installations where ceiling mounting isn’t optimal.
- Portable Version: The Eclipse Portable offers all the benefits of the heater + light combo in a mobile package with a wheeled base and dimmable control.

How Eclipse Compares to Standard Patio Heaters
Unlike conventional patio heaters that expose heating elements or produce glare, the Eclipse conceals heat behind its ceramic fascia, limiting visible glow. Combined with its built-in LED ring, it offers a more refined aesthetic. Typical heaters are either heating-only or lighting-only; the Eclipse integrates both in a single fixture.
Controls & Smart Integration
The Eclipse is compatible with Affinity Smart-Heat™ control systems, enabling remote/dimmer control and zone management. The portable version comes with dimmable controls, letting you adjust heat and lighting conveniently from your seat.
