Good day all! I see lots of posts regarding CHE's and RHP's being used for heat, but unable to find any posts regarding micathermic radiant heaters (such as this one). Does anyone have experience with mica-based heaters? Are the emitted electromagnetic rays safe for torts? I "***-u-me" so since they are safe for humans. However, I certainly don't want to slowly drive my torts insane by bombarding them with electromagnetic rays . I also don't want to kill the WiFi signal in my house.
I'm considering these heaters as they are cheaper than most RHP's, are quiet, provide more immediate heat, yet still provide cheap, radiant heat (vs. say an electric space heater). Use would be inside an 8' x 8' x 7' grow tent. It would be securely hung from the ceiling of the grow tent. The tent would be housing two cherry-headed, red-footed torts, so humidity will be high. The tent would be inside a house with an ambient temperature no less than 65 degrees Fahrenheit (i.e. I need to raise the temperature a maximum of 20 - 25 degrees). Thoughts?
