    Radiant Heat Panels

    Hey guys

    I was thinking of the different ways to increase ambient temperatures in my enclosure, and I understand that besides bulbs, you can also use a radiant heat panel? Could anyone quickly run me through the pros and cons of using this? And more specifically over bulbs? The biggest problem people state about bulbs is that they get too hot (which is easily countered with a thermostat) and that they suck humidity.
    As far as I understand, increasing ambient temperature in any way would decrease relative humidity the same way, so does that mean that using a radiant heat panel would more or less have the same problems as a bulb? I do need to increase ambient temperatures, so please dont mention that these should never be used, and about how they are bad, without an alternative.

    Also, could you suggest some brands for radiant heat panels and where would be good to get them?

    Thanks!
