I was reading Lee Valley's article that came out today and noticed this.

Seems like a nice product.

Or you could do the same thing much cheaper with a 25W incandescent
light bulb.

Sure. Until something bumps into it.

We just went and got one, the 18" version, from the local Lee Valley.
It is going in our front hall closet, it gets a bit humid in there at
certain times of the year:

FYI
12" 12 Watts
18" 18 Watts
24" 25 Watts

Froz...


The system will be down for 10 days for preventive maintenance.

Exactly, plus the foot print is much different.
And here in the US it will be hard to get incandescent bulbs in the
future. I bought a bunch since here in the NE it's not practical to use
the CFLs outside in the winter.

But I like the footprint of the heater.

The bulb though, has a concentrated heat source and very hot surface.
This may be preferable in some applications.

These have a maximum temperature of 150. Anyone know what a bulb is?

Nope - but this was a common technique in closets in Okinawa, where the
humidity is very high. The bulb did have a perforated shield around it to
protect it though. Worked like a charm.

Where I need a low level heat source, I wire two 60 watts in series,
yeilds 30 watts of heat and the bulbs will last a couple of years.

Run at half power, they are hard to blow by bumping them.

Yeah, but you'd be missing out on the greatest benefit ~ they don't
look as good as the Lee Valley Tools heater.
