Good grief.....

MINE!

Can you buy them instore?

Dont think so...

If you spend over £25 you can have them delivered to a store for free.....


I just ordered two....no more freezing nights in the garage

Just bought a couple online £17.35 in total, only 4.odd postage, same fee to collect in store. Doesn't say whether they are on the shelves or not.

wonder what the input wattage is?

[Edited on 5/3/08 by r1_pete]

It says the ouput is 1200W....given that you dont get energy from nowhere, I would hazard a guess that input would be similar...


If so, im going to end up looking like a roast duck after an hour in the garage....bring on the tin foil hat

would these be any good for melting powdercoat? if i bought 2 and made an enclosure for them?

Hope you're right Tegwin, it says 1200 KW, one between us would do if thats the case, can it be so?

What sort of area do you think these would heat/you would feel the effects of?.........just working out how many I would need.

Its a toughy...


Given that most are only 500w...and are mounted under parasoles etc.... They usualy heat quite a large area.....about 1.5 pub patio tables...


So twice as much power, twice as much heat....

If you could get it high enough I recon one would be enough to "warm" you up in the garage....


I bought two for a double garage...my logic being that, any heat is better than none!

At £6 each if you've got too many, you dont need to switch them all on, not a lot to have as spares...

Indeed......3 it is then

Just ordered three for me too. Looking forward to being warm for a change!!

Actually is says the output is 1200KW. Thats 1.2 MEGA watt. The whole street will look like roast ducks.

Don't think I could afford the electric bill!!!

These things are radiant so the closer you are the smaller area the cover and the hotter you feel. they are just like lights so if they cover the area where you are working you will be warm!

I thought about getting one.

Then I realised that if I work hard enough I don't get cold.

just to second what tks says, think about your supply before cramming a few in. Ive seen a lot of shady electrics where cables would melt before the fuse would blow.

I want that for melting powdercoat, too. A heat gun doesn't really work I've found - too small an area at a time. Also it has a fan in it, which just blows the powder away. Now I just need to find one in Canada!

POO! They have been withdrawn from sale.
