CHE wattage?

I'm thinking of switching from a 50W infra-red bulb to a CHE for ambient temps as I believe they allow for a higher humidity than light bulbs. Is this correct?

I was wondering if a 50W CHE will emit about the same amount of heat as a 50W infra-red bulb, or would the same wattege CHE emit more or less heat?

not really sure, but they are hot! i used to use 40 watt che's to heat my arboreal cages (2x2x2). they really need a stat connected.
