An Ideal heater for both the bedroom and the bathroom.
Product Overview
The Select XLS Mirror Infrared Panel Heater is part of Herschel’s high-performance Select XLS range, designed to deliver energy-efficient infrared warmth with a clean, contemporary look. Unlike traditional heating systems, infrared panels heat people and surfaces directly rather than the air, creating an even, comfortable temperature with reduced heat loss.
If you’re new to infrared heating, our Infrared Panel Heaters User Guide explains how radiant heat works, where it performs best, and how to get the most efficient setup.
With its reflective mirror surface, this panel is especially well suited to bathrooms and compact spaces, helping maximise wall space without compromising on performance or design.

Heating Performance & Efficiency
The Select XLS Mirror uses far infrared technology to gently warm objects, walls, and people directly. This results in:
-
Faster heat-up times
-
Even warmth from floor to ceiling
-
No air circulation or dust movement
Infrared heating is highly efficient, converting almost all electricity into usable heat and supporting lower running costs when used with effective controls. For a broader efficiency context, see our Carbon Neutral Heating Guide.
Smart Control & Compatibility
The panel features Herschel SMART-R technology, allowing smart control when paired with compatible XLS thermostats (sold separately). Choose from a battery operated controller (T-BT) or a mains / USB powered controller (T-MT). T-MT has in built Wifi allowing APP and voice control via Alexa and Google Assistant. Select your thermostat below. This enables precise temperature regulation and supports zoned heating for improved energy efficiency.

The heater operates silently with zero light and zero noise, making it ideal for bedrooms and bathrooms.
Bathrooms, Safety & Compliance
The Herschel Select XLS Mirror is suitable for bathroom installations when installed in accordance with electrical regulations and zone requirements. The infrared heat helps keep walls and surfaces warm and dry, reducing condensation in humid spaces.
For bathroom-specific placement, IP guidance, and sizing tips, see our Bathroom Heaters User Guide.
It is fully compliant with European energy-saving regulation (Lot 20) when used with an XLS thermostat and is certified to relevant standards, including independent testing.
Sustainability & Build Quality
Built with sustainability in mind, the Select XLS Mirror is manufactured using high-quality solid-state components designed for longevity. The heater is:
-
Maintenance-free
-
Over 95% recyclable at end of life
-
Supplied in near-fully recyclable packaging
This makes it a responsible choice for homes and businesses seeking low-carbon heating solutions.
The heated areas are a guide only and assume a medium to well insulated space with an average floor to ceiling height of 2.40M.

Infrared heating can be considered a low carbon option, especially when paired with smart zoning and renewable electricity. Our Carbon Neutral Heating Guide explains practical ways to reduce overall heating impact.
Planning a full room renovation or upgrading your heating system?
Infrared panels can work as a standalone heating solution or alongside electric underfloor heating when refurbishing a space. If you are changing flooring, layout or insulation levels, it is worth reviewing our Electric Underfloor Heating Guide to compare whole-room heating options.
Works well with:
- Smart Thermostats and heating controls for better comfort and efficiency
- Insulation Boards to reduce heat loss during renovation
- Overlay Boards when installing heating systems over existing floors
- Underfloor Heating Compatibility Guide to help plan suitable floor finishes
Not sure what size infrared heater or control setup you need?
Use our Heat Loss Calculator for a quick estimate of the wattage your room may require. If you are new to radiant heating, our What is Infrared Heating? page explains how infrared heat works in real living spaces and how zoning can improve comfort and running costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run it on a timer or smart schedule?
Yes. With a compatible XLS thermostat (T-BT or T-MT), you can schedule heating times and run zoned control. See our Thermostats Collection.
Where should I install the mirror heater in a bathroom?
Placement depends on bathroom electrical zones and clearances. Use a qualified electrician and refer to our Bathroom Heaters User Guide for practical guidance.
