Disguised to look and operate like a [candle lantern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchbot-candle-warmer-lamp), the heater will have the internal LED candle flicker during use to create a relaxing ambience. The unit will stay cool to the touch during operating thanks to the [infrared design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cozytime-lumo) that will provide powerful heating capabilities without any exposed wires or elements. The Indoor Lantern Infrared Heater is capable of providing palpable heat in areas up to 1,000-square-feet in size, which makes them great for cabins and open-concept homes.
