I'm almost 50, not 21, so I won't give a hoot if an RHP or CHE is still working in 50 years, when I'm 100 yrs old. Ha! Ha!

Well at least the CHE's will be more useful as you can shine them on your arthritic parts. Supposedly the far infrared spectrum of light produced by CHE's is good for such things.

And perhaps this is why many people report that CHE's produce a heat that is preferred by many reptiles. Honestly I think CHE's are a good choice for many species if one can keep the animals safe. Speaking of which, I was only kidding about using CHE's to treat arthritis! I can only imagine what the results would be if one had a CHE cranked to full fall on their exposed knee.

Seriously, I would like to see a comparison between CHE's and RHP's and wavelengths they produce. If anyone knows, chime in now.
