Zero Glare Magic Lamp Quartz Heaters Installed in St Peters Church Pavenham, Bedfordshire Bedfordshire

Project Type

Church Heating

The Project

St Peters Church is a fascinating building in the heart of rural England. The oldest parts of the structure date back to the thirteenth century but changes have been made throughout the years with significant alterations taking place in the Victorian era.

Heating Requirement

The church committee required a heating system to provide a comfortable environment for the congregation in the nave and in the side chapels whilst keeping heating costs to an absolute minimum.

Magic lamps provide instant, direct heating with zero glare

Quartz heaters provide instant comfort heat making them ideal for intermittently used buildings

Quartz Halogen Heaters

Solution was to install quartz halogen heaters. This style of heating provides direct heat to people without the need to build up and maintain a body of warm air. This characteristic means that virtually no pre-heating is required this keeping running costs to an absolute minimum.

At St Peters, twelve 3kW heaters were installed. The heaters were mounted at around 3.5m above floor level between the arches in the nave and on the side walls.

Choice of Halogen Lamp Technology

BN Thermic offer a choice of halogen lamps. For most applications, standard ‘gold’ halogen lamps are used. These lamps produce a red glow which has a psychological warming effect, most welcome in many industrial and commercial buildings.

However, in places of worship, including St Peters, customers opt for BN Thermic’s Magic Lamps. These lamps provide all the performance of conventional halogen lamps but with a fraction of the light output.

Magic lamps providing comfort heat in the church nave

Quartz heaters are ideal for localising heat in a church’s chancel. They can be easily tucked behind arches making them very unobtrusive

Quartz Halogen Heating System Designs

For a successful quartz halogen system, the positioning of the heaters is vital. The engineers at BN Thermic have been designing successful schemes for many years.
