Flexwatt

How many watts does a flexwatt pull if a flexwatt could pull watts?

Is it watts per foot?

3"

11"

3"/6watt= .17 watts/sq.in.
3"/10watt= .27 watts/sq.in.
4"/8watt= .17 watts/sq.in.
11"/20watt= .15 watts/sq.in

Thanks Don!!

Couple of more questions.

What's the best clips to use and what type / gauge wire should I use to daisy chain between each shelf?

You can snake one length of tape thru the rack and only need one connecter. Unless you wanna be able too stop heat to one tub or think the added side heat would be too much. That's how I'm going to be doing mine tho cuz winters get cold up here ha

I thought about that but it won't really work for what I'm doing.

Reptile Basics has plugs, clips, and insulator sets combined and they will even connect it for you for free if you want. If you set up each shelf with its own heat strip and plug, then if you aren't using a level, you can simply unplug it from the power strip you have plugged into the thermostat. Saves energy and dont have to worry about failure of one connnection effecting multipl levels.

Solder, no clips. There are several youtube videos on how to do it. Solder will hold better and make better connections.

Here is a thread with a video:
