Infared light from heater cause problems during dark cycle?

I have a stealth grow box in my garage, it gets very cold out there and I'm just about ready to switch to 12/12

My problem is when the lights are off, I will need a way to keep my grow box warm (temps can get as low as 30 degrees easily)

I plan on running the lights at night and the dark cycle during the day to help, so I am looking for a very small compact heater that will fit in the box.

What about the infared light that comes from the heater? Will that cause light problems during the dark period? Or do I need to find a heater that is ceramic or something?

Thanks for the input ahead of time, I'm getting excited to finally switch to 12/12 but need to figure this out before I do
 
So you are considering an infrared heater? One of those that glows a dull orange?

That's actually a good question and I don't have a clue to the answer but someone will. If it emitted any light at all from the heating element I would stay away from it personally
 
I'm not so much considering a infared heater, it's just that I need something VERY compact to fit inside the box and most small enough emit the red light
 
i'm not convinced about light n hermies myself but maybe you could place heater outside next to intake.

my stealth box is a armoire against a wall in the corner of the garage covered in blankets, and boxes etc to conceal it, so I cannot place a heater behind it.
