It is particularly useful when caring for seedlings and cuttings in winter and the colder months.

For perfect control over the grow space, it is ideal to combine the Urban Heater with the KT3100 thermostat or the CLI-MATE Thermostat 16A - temperature controller.

Main benefits:
- maintains a constant temperature
- requires almost no maintenance
- supplied with brackets for wall or floor installation
- safety fuse against overheating
- low consumption
- high IP55 protection rating

Technical specification:
- Input power: 180 W
- Length: 910 mm

- 220-240 V, 50 Hz

When and why use heaters for indoor cultivation?
Please note that it is not possible to state exactly how long it will take to heat the grow space or what temperature it will reach. The manufacturer does not provide this information. This is because the final temperature is affected not only by the heater's input power, but also by the initial temperature and, above all, the size of the space. The ambient temperature and the quality of the internal space's thermal insulation also have an effect.

If the initial temperature inside the grow tent 100x100x200 cm (space of 2 m³) is, for example, 10° C and you want to increase it to 20° C, this will take some time depending on the conditions. If you want to heat the grow tent 200x200x200 cm (space of 8 m³) from 10° to 20° C, it will take approximately 4 times longer with the same power. With a heater with lower input power, you will most likely not manage it at all.

In addition, it is not necessary to heat the entire space to maximum temperature continuously during cultivation.

The most important thing is a constant temperature around the plants themselves. Therefore, heating elements are mainly used to maintain a stable temperature.

What you should never do with the Urban Heater:
- do not switch it on until it has been installed perfectly
- use it out of the reach of children and pets
- do not handle it while the heater is connected to the mains
- do not immerse it in water
- do not leave the cable draped over the heating element
- do not install the heater near flammable or combustible objects
- disconnect it from the mains when not in use
- use only a damp, clean cloth for cleaning
