Oil Filled Heater

[Karenp]

I'm looking to buy an oil filled heater for use in an outoor nightbox in south Florida and was wondering how many watts I may need.

Thanks!

Most all I could find when Looking a few years ago were 1200- 1500. I am heating a shed though so they work fine. A box @Tom how many watts is yours?

I live in Gainesville and am able to keep stars outside all year with heated night boxes using these radiators.

If you build an insulated nightbox these radiators are more than enough.

Thank you both for the help- I'm so glad to hear that 700 watts will do the job!

I use the ones that PA2019 linked for you, plus a few other similar types. They key is to make the box well insulted and sealed. It won't work well if you don't.
