Abstract
A radiant element (11) contains a light radiator, e.g. a substantially circular halogen tubular lamp (15) and a dark radiator (18) in the form of standard open, electric radiant heating coils. For damping or attenuating the high starting or transient current of the light radiator (15), a damping resistor (21) is connected in series therewith, namely during the warming-up phase of the light radiator (15). Following the rise of the resistance of the light radiator due to its heating or after a certain time lapse, a damping switching device (22) disables the series resistor by shorting across it.
