Herschel Hawaii Wave 2000W Freestanding Infrared Patio Heater
Stylish freestanding infrared patio heater with 360° heat coverage for domestic and commercial outdoor spaces.
The Herschel Hawaii Wave 2000W is a premium freestanding infrared patio heater designed to bring both high-performance outdoor heating and standout design to your space. Ideal for gardens, patios, restaurants and hospitality environments, it delivers efficient radiant heat exactly where it is needed.
Using Herschel’s long-life carbon fibre medium wave infrared lamp, the Hawaii Wave produces a comfortable, deep-warming heat with a soft orange glow that avoids harsh glare. This makes it particularly pleasant for social spaces where comfort and atmosphere matter.
360° Freestanding Heating Design
The circular design allows for 360° heat distribution, making it ideal for central placement in seating areas.
- Perfect for tables and social seating layouts
- Even heat coverage in all directions
- Stylish curved stainless steel pole design
- Optimised heating height at approximately 1.6m to 1.8m
The fixed stand height is intentionally engineered by Herschel to optimise both heating performance and freestanding stability. The positioning helps maximise the effectiveness of the 2kW carbon infrared lamp while maintaining safe balance and wind resistance outdoors.
If you would prefer the heater positioned higher within a pergola, gazebo or covered outdoor structure, the heating head can also be used in a suspended configuration via the Herschel Hawaii Hanging Heater, allowing far more flexible mounting heights for commercial and architectural projects.
Some customers also integrate the freestanding version onto secure raised surfaces or architectural plinths within larger landscaping projects. Any elevated installation base must remain completely level, structurally stable and wider than the original base footprint for safety.
This flexibility makes the Hawaii Wave especially effective for both home entertaining areas and commercial hospitality layouts.

The Hawaii Wave is designed for year-round use and can also be used in covered or semi-enclosed spaces.
