radiant heater
Glowing warmth source
A radiant heater warms objects and people directly through infrared radiation rather than heating the air.
Unlike convection heaters that circulate warm air, radiant heaters work like sunshine—you feel the warmth immediately when in their path: The radiant heater made the patio comfortable even on cold nights.
Common types include infrared panels, quartz heaters, and patio heaters.
