Hi,
I decided to check my various heaters for surface temperatures. Measurements were take with a "point and shoot" temperature "gun". Here are the results:
85 C oil filled (very safe)
135 C small fan type heater
237 C radiant heater (the actual glowing bar)
Which one to I use most? Oil filled. Which one do I enjoy having pointed at me the most? The radiant, but I will not use it unless I am in the room.
The oil filled will have a larger surface area and the radiant is completely directional. If the first two are rated at the same wattage, they should put out the same amount of total heat. I'm not up on radiant heaters but it should be the same situation I believe...
