Product delivers pretty much what you would expect from the description however it is worthy of note that there is quite a high degree of illumination emitted and despite it being a wall mounted heater the instructions effectively state that it should not be mounted any where near a combustible surface, this rules out most walls! I suspect that there is a degree of catch all safety consciousness here but the heater does get really quite hot. I have yet to test the heat output at different distances, but initial reaction is that despite it being described as an infra red heater a very significant amount of the heat output is convectional not radiant. Given time I will test the radiant heat emitted against two conventional 500 watt and one 350 watt halogen flood lights (total 1300 watts) , I suspect that there might not be as much difference as might be expected.
