Low watt space heater EASY BUILD
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Continuing from the flower pot heater and small tile space heater I decided to do a ROOM HEATER. This heater is 600w and gives off a lot of heat. Forget radiators this will do the job. It made with 50w halogen bulbs behind ceramic tiles.

Great job, i like your ideas

That's a nice little project, and sensible too.

what stops the tiles from shattering from the heat? I tried this a year ago with a tile and a 500 halogen bulb and it got so hot it shattered.

So I love your work. But your missing one element. Say you have a roof and you want heat and light.
That's what we need is heat and light. Now what if you used an led. Then mounted it on a terra cotta tile.
Thus getting light. And heat. ? -
You're not saving ANY energy. 600W will put out 600W into the room. Period. All heaters are 100% efficient. If you want heat, get a radiant heater. If you want light, get light bulbs. No need to jump through hoops.

Your using light for heat ? If you made your own coil and connected that up to the mains it would use a lot less energy because you would not be producing light.
-
you can put solar panel in front of the light to recover some energy

nice

great build brother I am buying some automotive led fog lights and see how hot they get i might make that into a cab heater for my truck and place it on my dash and let the ice melt . im hoping i can find a 12 volt switch i can activate with my cellular phone .. if not ill try to get a switch that has a timer and set it for the next day so the cab is warmed up by the time i need it.. i will use a separate power source and have it scaled down where its portable most off the shelf automotive heaters are useless I tried a few ..I see that the wasted heat from a light source is many times more efficient than the heating coils found in space heaters.. thank you for the video .. just a small question have you ever tried to use a magnifying glass into a beam and see if you can raise the temperature of the ceramic tiles.. i know we have all used one to burn things from the light from the sun I just wonder if the bulbs get bright enough to allow a focused beam to be amplified ? I also wonder if a reflective aluminum tape could be placed on the board where the light bulbs are housed and farther increase the heating and stop the wood from absorbing any heat.. thank you for sharing and dont pay any attention to the haters online that say stuff like your heater wont heat shit...lol
