or something similar? Are they any good? Any problems etc? Spare
"Tubes" available?

We use infra red heaters at work when it's impossible to heat the area by
normal means. They work well enough provided you're 'on axis'. Seem to be
reliable enough.

Well, it was very pleasant this evening sitting slightly "off-axis" of
the four quartz patio heaters under a canopy outside the pub this
evening, down by the riverside, quaffing a few real ales, and the dog
(Gromit) threatening to jump into the river...

No smokers around either.

Cheers!
