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

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

I must be missing something.

Yes you are.

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.



How often do you change a resistance heater element?

Had plenty of fan heaters die.

Only a fool uses anything else.
