Where I need a low level heat source, I wire two 60 watts in series,
yeilds 30 watts of heat and the bulbs will last a couple of years.
Run at half power, they are hard to blow by bumping them.

Nope - but this was a common technique in closets in Okinawa, where the
humidity is very high. The bulb did have a perforated shield around it to
protect it though. Worked like a charm.

Exactly, plus the foot print is much different.
And here in the US it will be hard to get incandescent bulbs in the
future. I bought a bunch since here in the NE it's not practical to use
the CFLs outside in the winter.
But I like the footprint of the heater.

lightbulb but they have been operaitng warmly for 20+ years.

Yeah, but you'd be missing out on the greatest benefit ~ they don't
look as good as the Lee Valley Tools heater. :)

We just went and got one, the 18" version, from the local Lee Valley.
It is going in our front hall closet, it gets a bit humid in there at
certain times of the year:
FYI
12" 12 Watts
18" 18 Watts
24" 25 Watts

Froz...
The system will be down for 10 days for preventive maintenance.

The bulb though, has a concentrated heat source and very hot surface.
This may be preferable in some applications.
These have a maximum temperature of 150. Anyone know what a bulb is?
