    Re: CHE Vs Black heat light

    Yes. The blac klight would just emit light, and the CHE wouldn't.

    Are you using this as your primary heat source? If so, I would look into getting an under tank heater on a thermostat or rheostat. Belly heat is much more efficient and won't sap your humidity.

    Wouldnt a space heater be more efficient at keep temps?

    Re: CHE Vs Black heat light

    i live in the basement and it is the least active place in the house upstairs he would be bothered by running kids and such all day and every other room is occupied


    Also i only have to do this in the winter months
