I have a screened in porch in Florida approx. 8 x 24. Would this lamp heat a small sitting area.

Unless you are close to it this lamp will not help. It's great for just a small area around it.

Screened in = NO! If it was enclosed it might a little; I use it in a tool shed and it works pretty good.

This heater will heat that size room but the heater needs a large amount of oxygen. You should use this heater on a screen porch or out side to be safe. They are great heaters.

Hi Mary, I have a porch that is enclosed which is 24' x 6'. Insulation is not the best out there, and we heat it on the lowest setting. Temps this winter have been down in the teens and the lowest setting works well. We really like this heater.

My first response would be yes but always be sure that it doesn't get too warm.The heat may even irritate the area.

It does get warm so I suggest you place your plants at least 12" away from the lamp. This light has produced beautiful results for me. It is well worth the price, and will not only display your plant beautifully, but will produce new growth. I own several of these lamps and my plants are thriving. I hope this helps.

Yes it does provide adequate warmth. If you position the body close to this lamp and turn it on full power it will be too hot.

I can't tell you for sure since it depends on whether you have a light-reducing coating on your windows... but... that being said... if you have a "normal, clear window" it should heat up about as well as it would if it was setting outside... another couple of things to consider are whether the window has any framing that might also reduce the amount of pure sunshine hitting it, or... if the window direction may limit the amount of time that it gets direct sun each day... my guess is... you're probably ok as long as you give it direct sun for several hours, without anything to shade it... Hope that helps!

AYes, I think it would work for you as it is not a whole room heater with blower. It is a kind of oscillating heat lamp with coils; it heats whatever is close to it. In my case, in order to feel the heat, it has to be propped approximately 3" and under away from me.

I cannot answer specifically but it comes with a smaller CFL and states it will accept 3 different wattages of an incandescent bulb but they are lower than the three you mention. The shade is relatively small so there is a heat issue.

I don't think that it would work very well. You need room above the light to disapate the heat

I dont think it would be warm enough. Even in mild temperatures I have to have a heat lamp in it.

NO! In an enclosed space, it will overheat & burn out almost immediately. The 75-watt & lower bulbs will work, however.

Hi I think it would work the bulb gives off little heat. But check to make sure it would fit in the fixture your planning to use

This set up is fairly small also but does throw heat. I use a different bulb in it and it kept my Alaskan pepper plants producing all winter

You want a shade that allows air flow to the bulb. This light doesn't get as hot as an incandescent bulb, but it does generate heat and that heat can damage the electronics if it's in a completely closed fixture.

Yea should be fine. It doesn't heat up much if the blue lights aren't constantly on.

I live in upstate ny in a mobile home about 1000 sq ft-this heater with a little propane heater keeps our home comfortable even at 10 degrees outside-the fan only runs when the heater is working and for a couple minutes after heater shuts down-it does not run all the time-I don't know how cold it gets there in maine where u are but I think this heater might do it
