Can this be used to light a propane heater in a greenhouse?

Yes it can, Martha, but it did not work for long, I had to trash it, I recommend searching for something more durable
1973507
Possibly. It admits a spark, but I didn't think it worked to well. I repacked it with a butane lighter that has a flame.

Yes, if the tip can touch where the gas comes out. Slightly below works best for propane. I bought a second one because they work so well.Nancy

You can, if it works. We bought three, one for greenhouse use. Only one of the three reliably works, and the seller refused to refund/replace the defective ones. Neat idea, poor execution, worse customer service. We subsequent bought a "luxWin" thermostatic plug, and thus far it is working to keep our greenhouse at 45*

I use mine in a finished barn that has electronic equipment, and I turn it on only when the outdoor temperature is below around 25. It will bring the temp up to about 30 when the outdoor temp is about 10. So it does what I want, but it won't do the whole job. I have propane for that. Hope this helps

yes but you will need a regulator and a bottle of propane like for a gas grill will only last a very very short time. There are much better heaters available for what you need this heater to do.

You would have to be sure the bulb does not touch the vinyl sides of the greenhouse, and that none of your electrical connections can get wet. Your electrical cord should be plugged into a ground fault circuit in case water contacts the connections. Other than that, your grow light should be fine. I used a heat lamp in mine last winter when the outside temperature fell below 28F, using the safety precautions I mentioned, and had no problems.

I suppose you could yes, but I would use a continuous light source that gives off little or no heat such as LED lights.

No, I don't think so. It's more of a feature light, where the distance between the feature and the light is like 5 feet. Think "small piece of statuary" or "small pond feature". Anything bigger/farther away from that will need a genuine spotlight, and probably one fed with 110VAC at that.

I live in Texas so heating is not an issue. On cool nights here I use a lightbulb and this is enough to keep it warm. You should be able to figure something out. I Hang my bulb from a heat lamp by a metal clip from the center frame. I would not say this greenhouse is the most airtight thing out there.

Probably not, although there is some possibility you could find a low-voltage power connection. I believe this heater has a 12-volt version, and the connections could be present in the 120-volt version. But there is no way to get in there with a lighter or something like that.

No this unit is for Landscape lighting. You can use any wattage build from ten watts to Fifty. Just remember that this unit can handle up to Three hundred watts.

Yes, I'm currently using it on an outdoor floodlight that's attached to my garage. Works great and I can control it from the house about 50 feet away. Just don't exceed the rated wattage.

As long as your lights don't exceed the wattage and it you keep it somewhere out of the elements, I don't see why not. I use mine to control a professional 1000w ARRI Stage light when I go out on shoots and it works great.

I guess it could but natural gas doesn't have the amount of energy of propane . With such a small generator you would not have very much power . Not a good idea .

Yes. That is what I used it for. I recommend warm white (27000K) for most indoor lighting.
1009203
Yes. That is precisely why I bought it. I've been using it to operate two fluorescent grow lights for my bonsai tree. Works great.

Not sure. I never used the heater. It was for a just in case situation. I do think the answer depends on what size propane bottle you hook it up to though

can this unit be attached to a grill propane tank and how long would it last. I am in SC and want it for a 200 square foot greenhouse I built, somewhat insulated. Our coldest nights are 25 degrees on occasion. We did have 2 recently @ 15 degrees.RED
