The Herschel Select XLS LED Infrared Panel Heater combines high-efficiency radiant heating with ambient backlit LED illumination, creating a sleek, modern solution for both warmth and atmosphere.
Unlike traditional heating systems, infrared panels warm people and surfaces directly, delivering comfortable, even heat with minimal air movement. The integrated backlit LED feature adds a soft ambient glow behind the panel, enhancing the look and feel of your space while providing functional lighting.
The dimmable LED lighting offers a choice of white colour tones (3000K–6000K), allowing you to adjust brightness and ambience to suit different rooms, times of day or moods — from warm, relaxing evening light to bright, clean daylight tones.
Available in 400W and 600W options, the Select XLS LED panel is suitable for a wide range of applications including homes, offices, hospitality settings and retail spaces. The ultra-slim design allows for discreet wall or ceiling installation, making it ideal for modern interiors where space-saving and clean design are important.

Smart Control & Thermostat Compatibility
The Select XLS LED panel features integrated SMART-R receiver technology, enabling seamless pairing with Herschel SmartLED control systems.
This model is specifically designed to work with:
- T-BTLED – battery-powered wireless thermostat with lighting control
- T-MTLED – mains-powered smart thermostat with app and voice control
When paired with the T-MTLED, both heating and lighting can be controlled via smartphone app or voice assistants such as Alexa and Google Home, giving you full control over comfort, scheduling and ambience.
If you are comparing different control options, our Infrared Heating Thermostats Guide explains the differences between wireless, WiFi and smart zoning systems.
Installation & Use
The panel can be installed on walls or ceilings for flexible placement. Ceiling installation is particularly effective for even heat distribution, although professional installation is recommended for suspended or overhead fitting.
This system is ideal for:
- Living rooms and open-plan spaces
- Bedrooms and home offices
- Commercial interiors and retail environments
- Hospitality spaces requiring discreet heating
The heated area guidelines assume a well-insulated space with a standard ceiling height of approximately 2.4m. Larger rooms, higher ceilings or properties with lower insulation levels may require additional panels or a tailored heating plan.
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.
Warranty & Peace of Mind
The Select XLS LED panel includes a 5-year manufacturer warranty, with the option to extend to 10 years for additional peace of mind. The extended warranty begins after the standard warranty period and can be added during purchase.
For best results, always follow installation instructions and ensure final electrical connections are completed by a qualified electrician in accordance with UK regulations.
