Modern Flames Ambiance CLX2

The Ambiance CLX2 is designed for straightforward installation, offering both wall-mount and recessed options. While it can be mounted by a handy homeowner, recessing it into a 2x4 wall requires basic framing and electrical knowledge, so hiring a professional is recommended if you aren't comfortable with construction or hardwiring.

Modern Flames uses low-energy LED technology to create a dynamic, layered flame pattern that avoids the 'looping' look of cheaper electric units. While it won't perfectly mimic a wood-burning fire, it is widely considered one of the more convincing linear electric options on the market.

Yes, the flame effect operates independently of the heating element. This allows you to enjoy the visual ambiance of the fireplace year-round, even during warmer months when you don't need the 5000 BTU heat output.

This fireplace is rated at 5000 BTUs, which is designed to provide supplemental heat for a standard-sized room, typically up to 400 square feet. It is not intended to be the primary heat source for your entire home.

The unit comes with both coals and glacier glass, allowing you to choose the aesthetic that best fits your room's decor. You can swap these out easily to change the look of the fireplace base whenever you want.

The Ambiance CLX2 operates on a standard 120V outlet. However, because it draws up to 1500W when the heater is running at full capacity, ensure it is on a circuit that can handle the load to avoid tripping your breaker.
