Overview
An unused living room fireplace becomes a lit focal point with the Dimplex Revillusion log set placed inside it. Faux logs and a glowing ash mat fill the hearth, a partially frosted Mirage Flame Panel shows flames without reflections, and a fan-forced ceramic heater blows warmth into the room from a standard outlet.
Realism is the reason to choose it: the frosted flame panel avoids a mirrored look, and the remote switches between color themes. Heat is a supplement described for small spaces, so it will not replace a home heating system.
Who it's for
Homes with a decorative or retired fireplace get flame visuals and zone heat without venting or wiring work. Rooms with no firebox, or owners expecting whole-house heating, are better served by another type of heater.
Pros and cons
- Plugs into a standard outlet
- Vent free, no chimney use
- Frosted panel avoids reflections
- Remote switches color themes
- Needs an existing fireplace opening
- Heat described for small spaces only
- Service warranty shorter than parts coverage
Performance notes
Heat comes from a fan-forced ceramic element, so warmth reaches the area in front of the fireplace first and spreads with the airflow. Flame realism depends on the partially frosted panel, which diffuses the light and avoids visible reflections.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Dimplex RLG25 a complete electric fireplace?
No. It is a log insert with a glowing ash mat made to go inside an existing fireplace. No surround, mantel or firebox is included.
Can the flame color be changed on the Dimplex Revillusion?
Yes. The included remote is programmed to toggle between a range of color themes.
How much area does the Dimplex RLG25 heat?
The spec sheet lists heating coverage of 1000 sq ft, but the description calls it heat for small spaces and the title says supplemental zone heat. Treat it as heat for the room it is in.
Does the Dimplex RLG25 need a chimney?
No. It is listed as vent free and runs on electricity, so the chimney plays no part.
