Would this be suitable for inside an infrared sauna? Is it dual voltage 110-240 V for use in australia or is there another model more suitab

No, don't use it in a sauna. I use it in my bathroom when I take a shower or bath but I think the sauna will melt the plastic

The operating voltage is 120VAC, 60Hz for North America region. Australia is using 230VAC at 50Hz power system. This will not work in Australia region.

I didnt use it in a sauna but phone and battery (any phone) have high temperature warnings, so wont recommend it

Mine is 120-130 VAC 60 HZ. Goodness, all the way from the Land Down Under to Memphis, TN USA? Wow. I have no idea what your standard electric power is in Australia. Oh, and one other thing, if it has a 120 to 240 switch on it somewhere, I don't know, but it is 0130HRS (1:30 AM) here right now, so I will have to wait and get back to you tomorrow. The thing is packed up in my shop out back. Later Jude.

110V, but not sure of BTU. I will say, this product underperformed for my needs. The deminsions given are the complete size of the unit, I guess I was a little disappointed in the actual heating element size. We bought two units & tried to use them in an enclosed, covered patio at a restaurant about 20x40, and it wasn't near enough. Additionally, they pull a lot of wattage. We couldn't plug anything else into to the circuit without popping the breaker, so one unit per breaker for us, and nothing else, and we are talking about a commercial building.

Yes, I actually have put a 120v 40watt white light bulb in mine. The Infrared bulb used for a heat light still uses 120V, but it's a 250watt light bulb (thus produce high heat due to the watts). It's the voltage that matters so as long as the light bulb is rated for 120v you will be fine.

I purchased it for use in China but did not need it as all hotels had 120V outlets. If it is accepted in Australia it will take any appliance. If you're going to be in hotels check to see if it's neede.

Hmm, I got the answer. Check the review by MF on September 10, 2011. He wrote:"Un-fortunately I didn't have the chance to try it all, it doesn't work with 220V used in Australia & was damaged immediately ( my mistake I didn't remember to check)"Even I bought this and I'll have to get a step-down transformer before using it in 220-240 V countries.

My technician used normal electrical house wires for 240V. Only consideration was how many appliances were connected to the same source of power. I had bought 220V. It also comes in 110V. I do not have a hot water tank system where it was installed. So I use electric currant to heat water for every use of hot water. You can chose to use room temperature water without using power. the flow is good, but as you increase the flow the water does not get enough time to heat. but for me, using the hot water as per my likeness, it was hot enough and even hotter with a conformable flow of water.

Hello Steve. I am not an electrician but can tell you this unit will not operate on 110V. You will need a 220V service of about 60 Amps to run this heater. This is a very high amperage for home usage and more than a tank type heater would use. I strongly suggest you have a licensed electrician look at the heater requirements and give you a bid. This heater will not perform properly without the right electrical supply.

Hi. No, it doesn't have dual voltage. You can only use it with 110-120 V. But if you buy a voltage converter, you'll be able to use it with 220 V.

No idea, I never owned such thermostat, just noticed that the Infrared Sauna we had, emmits hube amt of EMF, THEN AN OLDER MODEL WITH CERAMIC HEATER DIDNT DEPENDS ON CHEAP MANUFACURER

Hi, I live in Australia where the voltage is 220/240. The amp is fine, you will not have any problem.

I've not used it in a sauna environment, but as far as fitting or working, this is the same as a regular light bulb in terms of the base screwing in and length fitting (it might be just a bit longer that the average incandescent). I've used mine outdoors, and with weather you want a good seal on your enclosure because moisture will be bad for any type of bulb, this one included. And you might have read elsewhere, but if you want the bulb to remember its last setting, you have to use the remote to turn it on or off. If you use a light switch, it will always start on the default setting, which for mine is "flash".
