radiant heaters
Infrared warmth emitters
Radiant heaters warm objects and people directly through infrared radiation rather than heating the air.
Unlike forced-air systems, they don't circulate dust or create drafts: The patio radiant heater kept us comfortable even on a cold night.
Common types include electric panels, infrared lamps, and gas-fired units used in warehouses and outdoor spaces.
