Granted your ceramic heater puts out more heat than a 100 watt light bulb


On what planet do your Laws Of Physics, reside...... 100 Watts is 100
Watts.... it doesn't matter if that comes from a light bulb or a ceramic
heater.....Ok now you say that the light output must be subtracted from
the 100 Watts, BUT, so does thew glow from the ceramic heating element
as well. Both are RESISTIVE Loads, both produce 100 Watts of energy
into the enviorment...Again 100 watts is 100 Watts...... back to High
School Physics for you.....

Since the heater is designed to put out HEAT and the light bulb is designed
to put out LIGHT I suspect there could be some differences. Go back to your
own high school class and learn some manners.



It really doesn't matter WHAT the device is "designed" to do, what
matters IS, that the total power output of the device (heater or light
bulb) is going to be HEAT, unless, as it has already been pointed out,
some of the light leaks out thru a hole in the container, or room.
So far your whole premiss, is flawed, and your conclusions are BOGAS.
Like I stated before, best you go ask for a refund on your High School
Diploma, because you certainly didn't learn what they had to teach.....
