How convection heaters work compared to heating by radiation, which is better for heating a room? air heat convection heating, which in turn heat the surface, slowly.
Radiant heat transfer surfaces that heat the air more slowly.
I prefer the Convention, because the heat is better distributed, and do not fry the side of your face that faces the heat source.
A heater heats the air that is released and rises and drawing in cooler air near the floor to heat.
A radiant heating light has stems that emit infrared radiation that travels in a straight line to the heat surfaces or people it touches.
Another option is a heater of the Air Force has a fan to blow heated air.
Most people prefer a radiant heating for personal because it puts the fire in which it is intended (the user) and is silent. For space heating, convection or forced air is better because it does a better job of providing even heat - there is not a cold side as with radiant.
