    Does anyone know of a real slim heater for ambient temps?

    You could always try a CHE?

    I was really confused by the question because the OP is asking for a thin heater that will do ambient temps. Really the choices for heating are heat lamp CHE and UTH. 2 if which by no means are thin.

    I think the OP may be referring to a ceramic room heater. I have a Delonghi heater I picked up at home depot. It is about 3inches deep as 24"x 22" maybe... They are a great heater, but should be closely monitored. Mine started sparking and making a weird smell after if accumulated a little dust in storage. I have taken it out of commission but will be purchasing another one soon.

    What about a radiant heat panel?

    Radiant heat panel is the slimmest ambient temp heater I can think of - at least, they're thinner than lights or CHEs.

    RBI carries some very nice ones:

    Radiant heat ... Panel. Radiant heat does not effect ambient temps. Radiant by definition heats objects not air. Little to no effect on air temps.

    Che or any light (every) electric light on the market heats air. convection sources goldenrod heaters too.

    The smallest I can think of are high output led panels. Likely the best would be fld tubes.

    The logical question is why are you looking for a small convection heat source what are you trying to do?

    I think the OP forgot about his question..... I now realized he prob wasn't looking for a room heater so disregard my previous post.
    It's hard to help someone when they post a vague question, then vanish.....
