43,000 BTU of Overhead Infrared Warmth — The Bromic Tungsten 500 Is Built for Larger Covered Outdoor Spaces That Need More Heat Per Unit
Five ceramic burners, a high-performance mesh infrared emitter, and 200 ft² of even radiant coverage — wall or ceiling mounted, aimed precisely, and built to commercial spec for the spaces where the Tungsten 300 reaches its limit.
When a single dining terrace or large covered lounge needs more heat than the Tungsten 300 can deliver per unit, the Tungsten 500 steps in. Five ceramic burners push 43,000 BTU through a high-performance mesh emitter, covering up to 200 ft² with the same focused, low-glare infrared warmth that holds steady in breezes up to 8 MPH. Electronic direct ignition fires without a pilot light; the automated re-ignition system relights the flame without manual resets if it's interrupted. Stainless steel exterior, ceramic burners, and rugged mesh construction give it the commercial-grade durability that hospitality venues require — in a 25.43"-wide profile that mounts overhead with included pivot brackets, reclaiming every square inch of floor space below. Natural Gas or Propane. Optional pole mount available.
Key Features & Benefits
Four reasons the Tungsten 500 handles larger covered outdoor spaces where the 300 reaches its coverage limit.
43,000
BTU Output
Five ceramic burners deliver 43,000 BTU through a high-performance mesh emitter — focused infrared heat at guest level across up to 200 ft² per unit, without the heat loss that comes from open-air convection.
200 ft²
Coverage Area
Up to 200 ft² of even radiant coverage per unit — 25% more than the Tungsten 300, suited to longer dining setups, larger lounge clusters, or any space where one 300 falls short and running two feels like overkill.
8 MPH
Wind Resistance
The mesh emitter maintains stable infrared output in breezes up to 8 MPH — suited to covered patios, pergolas, and semi-sheltered outdoor rooms. For fully exposed environments, see the Platinum series (glass-ceramic, rated to 12 MPH).
Auto
Re-Ignition System
Electronic direct ignition fires instantly; automated re-ignition relights the flame without manual intervention if it's interrupted. Flame failure safety shut-off provides secondary protection.

Mesh Infrared Emitter — How It Heats
The Tungsten 500 uses a high-performance mesh screen to concentrate infrared energy at guest level rather than diffusing heat into the surrounding air. The warmth radiates directly to surfaces and people in the coverage zone — even, low-glare, and consistent in calm to moderately breezy conditions up to 8 MPH. This makes the Tungsten 500 the right choice for covered patios, large pergolas, and semi-enclosed outdoor dining rooms. For spaces that are fully exposed to wind and regularly see gusts above 8 MPH — open rooftop decks, beachfront terraces — the Platinum series (glass-ceramic emitter, rated to 12 MPH) is the appropriate step up.
Mounting & Zone Configurations
The Tungsten 500 installs on a wall or ceiling using the included pivot brackets, which adjust to aim heat toward the seating zone below. At 25.43" wide it has a larger physical footprint than the Tungsten 300 (19.29") — plan ceiling clearance and mounting point spacing accordingly. An optional pole mount is available for spaces where overhead installation isn't feasible. For larger covered spaces with multiple zones, Tungsten 500 units can be paired and aimed independently for targeted zone coverage, each handling up to 200 ft².
Who It's For — The Deck & Den Take
›
The Deck & Den Take — The Tungsten 500 is the step up from the 300 when you need more coverage per unit — a longer covered dining terrace, a large lounge cluster, or a space where running two Tungsten 300s feels like more units than you want to manage. At 43,000 BTU and 200 ft² per unit, it gives you the Tungsten series' covered-space performance at a scale that handles bigger footprints. The 8 MPH wind ceiling is the same as the 300 — the Tungsten series is designed for sheltered and semi-sheltered spaces. If wind is the primary concern in your space rather than coverage area, that's the conversation to have before deciding between Tungsten and Platinum. Contact us for a layout recommendation before ordering — the right unit count and aim matter more than BTU alone.
-
Larger covered outdoor spaces where the Tungsten 300 reaches its coverage limit — longer dining terraces, expansive lounge areas, or covered rooms where 160 ft² per unit isn't enough.
-
Hospitality operators — restaurants, hotels, event venues — who need high-output commercial-grade heating in covered outdoor areas without running multiple smaller units.
-
Covered patios and pergolas with significant square footage where the 43,000 BTU output and 200 ft² coverage lets a single unit serve a full dining or lounge zone.
-
Multi-zone covered outdoor rooms where Tungsten 500 units can be mounted and aimed independently for scalable zone coverage across larger layouts.
-
Buyers deciding between the Tungsten 300 and 500 — the 500 makes sense when a single unit needs to cover a larger zone; the 300 is the right pick when tighter zone control with a smaller unit is preferable, or when ceiling clearance favors the narrower 300 profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
›
What is the BTU output of the Tungsten 500?›
The Tungsten 500 outputs 43,000 BTU through five ceramic burners and a high-performance mesh infrared emitter.
How much area does the Tungsten 500 heat?›
The Tungsten 500 covers up to 200 ft², depending on site conditions such as ceiling height, enclosure level, and ambient temperature. For larger or multi-zone spaces, multiple units can be paired for scalable zone coverage.
Does the Tungsten 500 come in Natural Gas and Propane?›
Yes. The Tungsten 500 is available in Natural Gas (model BH0210003-1) and Propane (model BH0210004-1). Select your fuel type above before purchasing — the two models are not field-convertible.
How wind-resistant is the Tungsten 500?›
The mesh emitter maintains stable infrared output in breezes up to 8 MPH. This makes the Tungsten 500 well-suited to covered patios, large pergolas, and semi-enclosed outdoor spaces. For fully exposed environments where wind regularly exceeds 8 MPH, the Platinum series (glass-ceramic emitter, rated to 12 MPH) is the appropriate choice.
How does the ignition and re-ignition system work?›
The Tungsten 500 uses electronic direct ignition — it lights instantly without a pilot or manual sparking. If the flame is interrupted, the automated re-ignition system relights it without requiring manual intervention. A safety shut-off valve also activates on flame failure as secondary protection.
How is the Tungsten 500 mounted?›
The Tungsten 500 mounts on a wall or ceiling using the included pivot brackets, which adjust to direct heat toward the seating area below. An optional pole mount is also available for spaces where wall or ceiling installation isn't possible. Professional gas line connection is recommended.
What are the dimensions and weight of the Tungsten 500?›
The Tungsten 500 measures 25.43" W × 14.09" D × 14.25" H and weighs 40 lb.
What is the difference between the Tungsten 300 and Tungsten 500?›
The Tungsten 300 outputs 26,000 BTU and covers up to 160 ft² with three ceramic burners; it measures 19.29" wide and weighs 33 lb. The Tungsten 500 outputs 43,000 BTU and covers up to 200 ft² with five ceramic burners; it measures 25.43" wide and weighs 40 lb. Both use the same mesh infrared emitter, 8 MPH wind rating, electronic auto re-ignition, and commercial-grade stainless steel construction — the 500 is the higher-output, wider-coverage version for larger covered spaces.
What is the difference between the Tungsten 500 and Platinum 500?›
Both cover up to 200 ft² with five ceramic burners, electronic auto re-ignition, and a stainless steel exterior. The key difference is the emitter type and wind rating: the Tungsten 500 uses a high-performance mesh emitter rated to 8 MPH; the Platinum 500 uses a glass-ceramic emitter rated to 12 MPH and outputs 39,800 BTU vs. the Tungsten's 43,000 BTU. For covered or semi-sheltered spaces, the Tungsten 500 is the right fit. For exposed rooftops, open-air terraces, or consistently breezy environments, the Platinum 500 handles variable wind conditions better.
Is the Tungsten 500 suitable for residential use, or only commercial?›
The Tungsten 500 is commercial-grade in build quality, but equally suited to premium residential outdoor spaces — large covered patios, pergolas, and outdoor living rooms where a single high-output unit is preferable to multiple smaller ones. Its stainless steel construction and low-glare profile integrate cleanly in both contexts.
What warranty comes with the Bromic Tungsten 500?›
