You'd just put a tiny fan next to the bulb-field to circulate the shed's

for a very reasonable 500 to 600-watts. In other words, turn the shed

A regular resistance heater converts all the energy into heat, this
converts the energy into heat and light.

Yes.

Unless you need the light, how is a heater based on light bulbs better
than a regular resistance heater?

Much easier to change a bulb when one dies.
