Show me this magic space heater that's cheaper than 12 light bulbs and lasts that long.

Looks like crap, they discontinued the better variant (200 W) that was cheaper.

I don't know what 12 old bulbs cost, but I know the life expectancy was about 1000h or so. I wouldn't pick it anyhow, the heater is cheap as dirt
Edit: actually a 60 W old bulb is 101 SEK
200 euro or kroner or whatever they use for a fire starter of massive overkill vs a light bulb, which lasts far more than 1000 hrs especially if not switched off n on.
Oh no, you have insulted my currency, I think? Guess I have to fold and agree that an old bulb with a rated lifetime of about 1000 hours, realistically 800 hours, and an anecdotal lifetime of 1000000 hours is the better option. (Notice my use of sarcasm)
Especially as it's half the price of a product made to guard against frost that lasts basically forever. Because on the north American continent, it is much cheaper to have something that you just run day in and day out instead of only when needed. How much is 400 kWh in CAD? You can figure it out, but don't bother replying, or do, I don't control you
I'm pretty sure you're just kinda dumb at this point.
