I’ve got two types, halogen carb fibre and 1quartz. Quartz seems to heat space better but halogen feels so good on my skin also helped me on body aches, cos it is red light and infrared.
The key is the wavelengt of the radiation. The brighter ones use the input power to produce more visible light and less infrared. Both end up as heat, but only infrared is radiant heat, the rest of it heats the air wich is flying away upwards filling the room, and not the objects in front of it. The more reddish uses the mejotiry of it's 400W to emit infrared radiation, wich can travel to the object without wasting to heat the air between. (If the goal is room heating, both are equal.)
@@fanatic632 It will warm but the downside is it will be little brighter. If you are in India you can go with the concept of sun halogen heaters it will not break down easily. mine worked for entire winter season and the warmth is much better than qaurtz.
@@fanatic632 which one did you get? I brought quartz heater last winter, but in this winter both of it's original tube stopped working and aftermarket tube is very low quality, they stop working after some time, one tube only worked for 2 hours. I've changed around 7 tube worth 350 rs. Change one tube yesterday and it lasted 19 hours lol. So, thinking of buying a halogen heater because halogen tube has gases inside instead of heating elements which breakdown after some time.
If quartz produces more heat why did you put it more close to the target you are drying? Of course, I understand you reasoning about efficiency, however I prefer halogen. Why? It produces different feeling on skin. Quartz may heats up the air more, so you feel warmer the air (!). However on short range its good to feel the radiation itself, like feeling the wide spectra of Sun on hot summer days. Different spectra, heats (and absorbed) differently.
cold terrace in winter, nothing else heats it, tried it. only a halogen heater with a gold-plated tube, really efficient

I couldn't have said it better myself.
This is exactly the review I am looking for. Energey is wasted as light in the halogen heater. While quartz runs hotter. Thanks
quartz also breaks down every now and then so go for halogen only
@@ricks1129 But he says halogen won't warm you. Would it work to warm hands and feet in winter?

@@ricks1129 Yes I'm from India and was considering to buy a two rods based halogen heater. I just need to warm feet and hands when working.

Very Nice video . . thanks for the awesome real-time information
I've just bought a 400/800 quartz heater.
I heat a double bedroom with 400w, I'm amazed and it cost 16 pence per kwh, wow 👌
Thanks. It makes sense - quartz heater does not generate visible waves and etc..
Thanks🙏

halogen is better. and it has a psychological effect as well.
