>>Isnt a 60 watt ceramic heat emitter equal in heat to an incandescent 60 watt bulb without the light?



LOL, not even in the same ball park. I have a Pearlco 60 watt CHE and it really keeps things warm.



I have a plywood vivaria with a full screen top - all 48" x 20" of the top is screen. There is a false ceiling area above this screen that hides the lights. The back of the false ceiling is open to access lights. It is 6" x 48".



The false ceiling does block some heat but that's still A LOT of ventilation. Even with all that ventilation my 60 watt CHE keeps a large rock heated to 105* The CHE is 12" above the rock.



A 60 watt CHE could really roast a 30 gallon tank.
