This makes them more efficient outdoors because wind doesn't carry the warmth away. Unlike gas heaters, there are no fuel canisters to replace, no fumes, and no open flame — just plug in and enjoy instant heat.\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"hark-faq-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWhat does \"Ultra Low Glare+\" mean and why does it matter?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"hark-faq-body\"\u003eTraditional infrared heaters use bright gold lamps that emit an uncomfortable orange glow. The Heat \u0026amp; Beat's Ultra Low Glare+ lamp produces 94% less glare — so it provides the same warmth without harsh light ruining your ambience.

The Heat \u0026amp; Beat includes a built-in safety guard that protects the heating element from accidental contact. The ultra-low glare lamp also means there's no intense visible light that could startle children or animals.
