Glowing element appliance

A halogen heater is a portable electric heater that uses halogen bulbs to produce radiant heat.

The bulbs heat up almost instantly, making these devices efficient for warming people directly rather than heating entire rooms.

They typically feature reflective backing to direct warmth outward: She kept a halogen heater under her desk in the cold office.
