Pros and cons of a halogen heater

Before purchasing a halogen heater, you should pay attention not only to the characteristics, but also to the advantages and disadvantages of the device, on which the productivity of the upcoming process will depend.

Operating principle of a halogen heater

For a future analysis of the pros and cons, it is necessary to consider in detail how the unit works.

Waves are emitted due to the halogen lamp. The lamp characterizes itself as a tube containing a halogen. The shell is also equipped with a buffer gas. When the device is turned on, the temperature in the spiral rises at lightning speed and a glow occurs, while tungsten atoms move away from it and then reattach. The peculiarity of the design is that the space is heated by increasing the temperature on individual pieces of furniture (this includes the floor, walls of the room) and living organisms. And it is from them that heat is already released into the atmosphere. Therefore, the more powerful the equipment, the more volume it will heat up.

Pros of a halogen heater

It's amazing how many positive qualities this device has.

1. Thanks to a special operating process, heating occurs instantly. It takes a few minutes, after which you will already feel the difference in degrees.
2. As for the heating itself, it is uniformity.Some heaters are only capable of producing heat to the bottom of the room. Here the warm air mass is distributed equally over the entire area.
3. Availability for purchase. One of the reasons for the high demand is the low cost, justified by the quality.
4. It makes no sounds at all during operation. Noise-free guarantee.
5. Light weight and compact. This means that you can place or hang the unit in any place, and it, in turn, will not take up much space in the apartment.
6. Does not collect dust and therefore does not accumulate dirt.
7. It is possible to use it not only in a closed area, but also in open areas.
8. Easy to assemble and install.
9. It does not dry out the air, so after work it will be easy to breathe and stay indoors.

Cons of a halogen heater

Of course, every heating system has disadvantages. This one is no exception.

• Since the increase in temperature also occurs due to the heating of people, there is the possibility of harmful effects.

ATTENTION!

The harmful effects have not been conclusively proven by scientific researchers, however, you should be concerned and definitely not stay under the emitted rays of the device for a long time.

• The operation of the device may be interfered with at night. This is due to radiation in yellow shades. In addition, some owners may be bothered by the bright glow.
• Heating occurs using a local method. The warm air space does not spread throughout all the rooms in the house.
• It is not intended to regulate the degree of heat flow.
• Acceptability of skin burns in humans. If safety precautions are not followed—staying at a certain distance from the unit—you may experience damage to the retina.

Is it worth buying a halogen heater?

Of course, this depends on the purpose of the technology, determined by the potential buyer, and on personal preferences. If the characteristics match the desired ones, then this is the right device. In any case, it performs the function of a heater perfectly, as it has strong power. Convenient for use in open areas, on the street, terraces and even in restaurants.
