Update - it's arrived but I haven't set it up lol.
According to Arcadia the infra red A and B is a different kind of heat compared to a ceramic heat emitter or a lamp like a halogen. Claim it's like what the sun does.
It was about £14 so if it lasts a long time (which it claims it does) it could work out reasonable value compared to a halogen.
Arcadia are claiming that the heat from the 50 watt is like 100 watts of heat from a lamp. They are saying you MUST use a stat for it.
I've been busy with other stuff but I will fix this up over the next day or two and will see what the torts make of it. It's not like a heat mat which I think basically works by direct contact.
