The Dimplex IgniteXL 50 is a wall-mounted electric fire that brings the look of a real flame to any room without a flue, gas supply, or installation hassle. The Multi-Fire XD flame effect uses patented technology to reproduce a natural flame convincingly, and the diamond-like acrylic ice ember bed adds depth and sparkle to the display.
At 2.5kW, it delivers real warmth through a fan-forced heating system, while the Comfort Saver technology automatically adjusts fan speed and wattage to use 11% less energy than a leading quartz infrared heater. The glass front stays cool to the touch at all times, making it safe around children and pets.
You can run the flame effect with or without heat, so it works as a year-round feature in your living space. A multifunction remote control handles everything from the thermostat to colour themes and flame speed.

More Details
A Realistic Flame Effect Without the Compromise
The IgniteXL 50 uses Dimplex’s patented Multi-Fire XD flame effect to create a convincing alternative to a gas fire. The flame is generated using advanced optics rather than combustion, so there are no emissions, no flue requirements, and no ongoing gas costs. The edge-to-edge glass and clean-face design with minimal trim put the flames front and centre, making this a proper focal point for a room rather than an afterthought.
Beneath the flame, a bed of diamond-like acrylic ice ember chunks catches and reflects the light, adding texture and realism to the display. The result is a fire that holds up to close inspection in a way that cheaper electric fires simply don’t.
Heating That Adjusts to Your Room
The Comfort Saver heating system is one of the more practical features here. Rather than running at a fixed wattage, it automatically adjusts both the fan speed and heater output to match what the room actually needs. Dimplex claims this uses 11% less energy than a leading quartz infrared heater. The Heat Boost function delivers maximum output for a set period when you need to warm a room quickly.
The heater runs at either 1,500W or 2,500W, and an electronic thermostat with automatic shut-off keeps the temperature where you want it without you having to think about it. The fan-forced heat distribution means warmth circulates around the room rather than radiating directly from the unit.
Colour and Ambience on Your Terms
The flame display isn’t limited to a single look. You can choose from a range of colour themes or use the Prism mode to cycle through colours and lock in the one you prefer. Adjustable flame speed gives you further control over the mood. Because the flame effect works independently of the heater, you can run it year-round as a decorative feature — useful in warmer months when you want the ambience without the heat.
Safe and Practical by Design
The glass front remains cool to the touch at all times, which makes the IgniteXL 50 genuinely safe in homes with young children or pets. There are no exposed heating elements and no combustion products. Built-in touch controls are backlit and hidden when not in use, keeping the fascia clean. The multifunction remote control gives you full access to every feature — flame colour, speed, heat output, and thermostat — from across the room.
Installation
The IgniteXL 50 is designed to be wall-mounted and built into a media wall or surround. The unit is 130.6cm wide, making it a substantial centrepiece for a living room. It comes with a 1.5m cable and connects to a standard 240V supply. [MISSING: specific wall mounting hardware or recess depth requirements]
