Electric room heater using light bulbs - uses array of light bulbs each covered with aluminium foil to provide convective room heating

摘要

The electric heater is constituted from multiple electric lamps covered in aluminium foil and installed in an architecturally decorative mounting so the heater may be mounted as desired in a room. The heater has a support structure (4) which is finished to appear as furniture, and electric cabling to supply the rows of lamps which each have aluminium foil wrapped around them. The lamp assembly is placed in front of a reflecting surface. An electrically driven fan is placed at the bottom of the array of lamps to draw air upwards past the lamps and limit their temperature rise while also circulating the heated air.
