Strange question, but am trying to figure a way to make my conservatory liveable in the wintertime, without using traditional heating.

I was looking at something like this:

Heat Lamp

Was wondering would it heat me and the kids if its hung at lightbulb level ie about 8 feet?

I have no idea if 250w would give much heat, was wondering if anyone has any experience of using these type of heating in a vivarium / terrarium?

Any advice much appreciated!

Would not work - you would need possibly 4 of these & the amount you would spend in electric is a JOKE!

I would suggest a small gas fire that you can the cylinder gas with - would be MUCH better! & heap cheaper!
