Can you use heat emitters in this? If so, how many watts?

I haven't tryed heat emitters in it yet . So far I have only had a Exo Terra Repti Glo 10.0 UVB compact 26w in it and it's been working great ! . If you put a emitter in please let me know how it works :) .

Could you clarify the question? I do not know what a heat emitter is but have been able to use bulbs that get very hot.

You can use a heat bulb with this lamp, it just can not be above 160 watts.

I wish I could be more precise; but I am electrically challenged. I ordered the fixture that was recommended along with heat lamp purchase to be on safe side. I am presuming that the fixtures shown below this will also be okay for heat lamp, just read the specifications for wattage. Wish I could be more help.

I did exactly that. The process was simple. However, the heated bed will require a larger power supply and heat output will be insufficient at 12 volts. I also felt uncomfortable drawing the higher currents required through the PC board electronics. What I did was attach a separate 12 volt mechanical relay to the heat bed output and ran 24 volts from a separate 8 amp power supply to the heated bed. Heat control and heat output are excellent, gets to over 100c quickly. Control has been excellant.

I read the directions on the box, and it say that the product is not made for use with ceramic heat emitter, but it does not say the reason. I think it will be too warm and would be a fire hazard, when i use the two lights at the same time, the temperature stays around 80 degrees.

I don't think so. It is only 11 watts I don't think it would warm it enough to give you what you are looking for.

I have not measured how many watts it is, but I can tell you that you can put your habnd right next to it and it's not hot at all. I do not recommend that you buy this unit. It does not get hot at all. Barley warm. The only good thing is the way it looks. Don't buy it. Spend your money somewhere else. I hope that helps.

Yes, I've used it with a radiant space heater daily for over seven years. My heater has a high, medium, and low setting; 1200/900/600/ Watts - I only use the low setting 600 W.

Yes, as part of a mid size solar/wind system. If you want to use appliances that generate heat, you need more wattage.

Yes def....no worries produces a lot of light even with 40 watt bulbs....also gives off a lot of heat

Mine died awhile ago. But to the best of my recollection it had two heat settings, 750W and 1500W. Very nice while it lasted.

take 4 100w bulbs and turn them on. you are getting about that much heat out of this heater at best. watts are watts people there is no free lunch.

Dear Robert, Using the 100W led REQUIRES it to be attached with 2 screws to a "heat sink" to prevent it from destroying itself from the heat generated at full capacity. Have you considered a group of 10w chips that do not require a heat sink. Good luck & stay in touch. Steve at saw.smith@nyc.rr.com

I agree, with the other answer. You would be asking way TOO much for this little 180 Watt unit. It does a great job for me heating a small compartment of my motorcoach where the water pipes come into the coach.

I used a heat gun on low setting of 750watt, worked just fine, just be careful not to get too close, it can melt it.

The plastic neck on them generates heat; but as far as I could tell they have no restrictions. I installed one in the kitchen fixture which is enclosed. Sorry but I have to bring this up every time; I went from 210 watts in the kitchen to 28.5 watts; and my wife likes it much better.

NO, This will not help you. This supports only 200w and it gets heated up in less than half an hour.

I upgraded to 120 watt for two of them and they worked find. Not sure what rated for but did not seem to overheat
