    Question 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?
