Abstract:
1. A radiant heater comprising: a radiative heating element; a housing, the underside of which is recessed to receive the radiative heating element, the radiative heating element being disposed beneath the housing such that its upper half is wholly within the recess, and at least a portion of its lower half protrudes downwardly from the recess the recess having a heat reflective surface for reflecting heat radiation from the radiative heating element in a downwards direction; and a heat deflecting member located between the heating element and the reflective surface of the housing, wherein the heat deflecting member extends at least partially along a length of the heating element, and wherein the heat deflecting member is configured to absorb and dissipate radiant heat emitted from the heating element so as prevent heat emitted from the heating element from directly reaching the reflective surface.
