Abstract: A portable electric heating or lighting fixture that uses infrared radiation to heat air efficiently, which is uniquely configured with no moving parts, having both fixed and removable ideal black body surfaces (28), (40), (42), (44), and a plurality of air convection chambers (30), (34), (38), that surround a replaceable radiant energy infrared or quartz heating lamp (24). In the lighting mode of operation, replaceable clear or colored incandescent lamps (98), or compact fluorescent lamps (100), are used for decor and indirect lighting applications. Decor matching fabric or fiber skirts and sleeves, silk screening, decals and paint can be used to decorate the exterior surface of outer pipe (36). Circular shaped colored glass or plastic panels can placed on air outlet register (58) for unlimited lighting effects. Natural resources and electricity can be conserved with this combination portable electric heater or floor lamp fixture.
