I'm currently using 100w infra-red bulbs which heat Princess' viv nicely. I was wondering however whether a higher wattage bulb would produce less light for the same level of heat? It would make sense if a higher wattage bulb would run at lower voltage, but after much thought I've reached the conclusion that I just don't know enough about things electrical to work it out!

low wattage running at full capacity or higher wattage running at a proportion of its capacity to achieve the same temps.....
