The Radialight products use the unique technical advantages of a heating technology
called DHS , acronym for Diffused Heating System.
This technology , developed and patented in Italy along the last 9 years has created a
special way to generate heating using large heating surfaces working at low ( but efficient)
temperatures with a very low energy consumption.
It is in fact known that to make home environments comfortable the ideal temperature of
heating surfaces ( think about steel or aluminium radiators) is to be between 60 and 80C.
Normally electric heating elements work at temperatures of hundreds of degrees, using
many hundreds if not thousands of watts and they need therefore to be electrically
insulated inside more or less complicate metal and / or plastic housings , the extremely hot
temperature they generate is then to be forced by convection in the ambient or displaced
within tubes using oil or thermal conducting fluids.
Radialight heating elements completely overturn this concept.
The element works at a temperature between 70C and 75C ( at air- ambient
temperature of around 20C) and is perfectly electrically and water insulated : the element
IS the product.
In this way , being the heating element directly in contact with the ambient, there is a direct
and immediate conversion of electricity in thermal energy, given to the air.
Electricity consumption is low; efficiency is extremely high.
Not only. Another big advantage of the Radialight technology is that heating is almost
100% generated by radiation.
Radiation, compared to convection , has 3 advantages.
The heating surface of the product works at temperatures between 70 and 75C
( surface temperature measured at 20C ambient temperature. Please note that every degree more or
less of ambient temperature gives approximately one degree more or less in surface temperature)
This result is obtained with a very low energy consumption : some hundreds of
watts
270 W on Acanto and Helisea 70 models , with an heating surface of 45 * 60
cm.
400 W on the Acanto and Helisea 70 models, with an heating surface of 45 *
90 cm.
The speed to get in temperature is very high : it takes around 5 6 minutes against
the usual 35 40 minutes of traditional electric towel warming radiators. It is a quick
heating product.
The time it takes to make towels warm and comfortable or wet towels completely
dry is therefore much shorter than in traditional products.
Note : measures and comparisons refer to our standard Helisea 110 product, 450W rated
A towel, wet with 300 gr. of water loses 80% of this humidity within 3 hours.
The towel racks are placed very distant one from the other. The surface of the towel is
therefore totally exposed to radiation and there is no overlapping effect between one
towel and another.
Also, all the heating surface has the same temperature while generally in other
products the lower part of the product is always much colder than the top part.
This means that all the hanged towels and bath robes get warm in a comfortable
and consistent way.
It can also be used to dry light clothing during the mid and cold humid seasons.
The product is very light. Its weight is of about 5 Kg. while traditional electric towel
warmers have a weight between 15 and 25 Kg.
It is fully electrical and requires no plumbing connection and , most of all, it has a
built in supply cable fitted with a plug.
Everything to wall mount it is included in the packaging.
Therefore : it is easy to carry, easy to install and dis-install and, most of all, it can
be fitted in an already existing bathroom without expensive installation costs.
Dimensions, particularly of the smaller Acanto Helisea 70 models, allow installation
also in quite small bathrooms and narrow spaces.

For the US the product will be ETL approved according to UL 499 standard.
Due to the fact that the element irradiates on both sides the Radialight technology
offers a unique feature : the double side effect.
In the Helisea models the product can be adjusted with a rotation and the towel racks
placed on both the sides of the product can be used to warm double the quantity of
towels and / or light clothing than all the other traditional towel warmers.
Though light, the structure of the product is extremely solid and resistant.
When hanged on the wall, even applying a weith of 30 Kg. In the most un favourable way,
the product and its wall fixation doesnt bend or break.
