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.....

Actually, unless the light from the bulb escapes through an opening, its
light output (and the radiation glow from the heater) will both be
converted back to heat as soon as they bump into something in the boat,
anyways...(c;

Of course, physics is meaningless when faced with a good ceramic heater
advertising program convincing them their tiny heater will heat a 3BR, 2BA
house on 1500 watts...hee hee.
