A radiant electric heater includes a base (2) of insulation material and a lamp-form heating element (3) supported adjacent to a surface of the base. The lamp-form heating element is in the form of a filament (4) inside an elongate envelope (5). The surface of the base (2) is locally depressed (dished or ramped) beneath the envelope (5). A corrugated ribbon heating element (7) is supported on edge relative to the surface of the base (2). A portion of the corrugated ribbon heating element (7) crosses the at least one lamp-form heating element (3) beneath the envelope (5) and substantially conforms to the contour of the locally depressed surface and is free from contact with the envelope (5).
