Isn't that the worse way for your outcome? Isn't there a more efficient method that reliably heats without light ?
A waste of only 2% is still a waste.
As far as I understand, energy is conserved. Light inside a closed box will ultimately turn to heat too.
Isn't that a pretty flawed design flaw then. Why not use a heater as a heater rather than a light bulb ? Or like a heat lamp ?
No not in the contest of a heater. Think that's just being silly now. Something we've required since the dawn of humanity.
