thanks so much!
Tell us more about the application where you want to use it. Indoors? Outdoors? In a night box? Just outside?
I really like Radiant heat panels for this sort of thing. It spreads the heat out over a greater area.

I'm going to use it where my torts sleep in my shed. during the summer when it 70 at night it was a good 95+ in the shed but its now gets down to 75-65 during the night in the shed which is way to cold for my torts.
For which species do you want this? Your russians are fine at 65-70. If you want to keep the sulcatas out there you'll need to make a big insulated closed chamber.
yea my sulcata is out there. how do i make a insulated closed chamber?
I think @Tom has designs, but I don't know where they are!

I have two of these in my garage. They are wrapped in 1.5" rigid foam, except for the fronts, and they maintain 80 degrees all winter long with a couple of CHE's on thermostats. My overnight lows drop into the high 40's during winter in my garage.
