Herschel Select XLS LED - Front Lit Infrared Panel Heater
The Herschel Select XLS LED - Front Lit Infrared Panel Heater combines efficient radiant heating with integrated LED lighting, creating a smart, space-saving solution for modern homes, offices and commercial environments.
Designed for interiors where both heating and lighting are needed, this ultra-slim infrared panel delivers comfortable warmth while providing adjustable ambient lighting. Instead of heating the air like traditional radiators, infrared technology warms people and surfaces directly, helping create a more natural and energy-efficient form of heating.
The built-in LED lighting is fully dimmable and offers adjustable colour temperatures ranging from warm white (3000K) to cool white (6000K), allowing you to tailor the atmosphere of your space. Whether you are creating a relaxed living environment or a brighter working area, the panel adapts easily to your needs.
Understanding how infrared heating works can help you get the best performance from your system. Our Infrared Heating Guide explains how radiant heat behaves differently from convection heating, while the Infrared Heat Loss Calculator can help you choose the correct wattage for your room.
The Select XLS LED panel features Herschel’s built-in SMART-R receiver, allowing seamless pairing with compatible Herschel controls such as the T-BTLED or T-MTLED thermostats. This enables flexible control of both heating and lighting, including app-based and voice control when paired with the appropriate system.
Its discreet, frameless design allows for wall or ceiling installation, and it can also be suspended where required. This makes it a practical solution for rooms where wall space is limited or where a clean, architectural finish is preferred.

Installation & Suitability
The Select XLS LED panel is suitable for a wide range of environments including homes, offices, retail spaces and hospitality settings. It works particularly well in rooms where a combined heating and lighting solution helps simplify the overall design.
For ceiling-mounted installations, professional installation is recommended. As with all electric heating systems, final electrical connections should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
For full control of both heating and lighting, the Select XLS LED Front Lit panel is designed to work with Herschel SmartLED controls, including the T-BTLED wireless battery thermostat and the T-MTLED mains-powered WiFi thermostat.
Compatible SmartLED Thermostats
To get the full benefit of both the heating and ambient lighting functions, the Herschel Select XLS LED Infrared Panel Heater should be paired with compatible Herschel SmartLED controls. These thermostats are designed specifically to manage both heat and lighting from one system, making setup simpler and day-to-day use much more intuitive.
- T-BTLED – battery-powered wireless thermostat with additional lighting control
- T-MTLED – mains-powered smart thermostat with additional lighting control, plus app and voice control compatibility
If you want a straightforward wireless control option, the T-BTLED is a practical choice. If you want more advanced smart functionality, the T-MTLED gives you app-based control, scheduling and compatibility with voice assistants such as Alexa and Google Home.
Not Sure What Size You Need?
Choosing the correct infrared panel wattage is important for comfort, efficiency and long-term running costs. Room size alone is not always enough, as insulation levels, ceiling height and glazing all affect heating performance.
To work out the most suitable heater size for your room, use our Infrared Heating Heat Loss Calculator. If you would like a wider explanation of how infrared heating performs in different spaces, our Infrared Heating Guide is also useful.
This helps you choose between the 400W and 600W versions with more confidence, especially in larger rooms or spaces with higher ceilings.
