These outdoor heaters are stupid and a waste of electricity (lemmy.world)

They are in front of the elevators at an outdoor multi story parking garage around my area. That's all I wanted to share, thanks.

I don't think that's how radiant heat transfer works. Should generally heat anything colder than the heat source

Kinda both right, it heats surfaces the infrared energy emitted by the heater can make contact with. It won’t heat open air which makes it extremely useful in outside environments or anywhere with a potential for airflow.
