No, the electricity is 'used' to create light. The tubes I spoke of
use all the electricity to produce heat. Do you remember the old

Ah, now I understand, I wonder how much heat I would need for my sized
greenhouse, and whether, say 1 large or 2 small ones would be
adequate. I looked on the link you gave, but it didn't give heat
output, AFAICS.

Sorry Judith, I have no idea. I think two, one either side might give a more
balanced temp, than just one. It's suck it and see I think
