Gotta agree with Tom - Conservation of Energy and a couple of Laws of
Thermodynamics - laws I have made a point of obeying. ;-)

Subject: Re: [OM] Humidity reduction in Oly cabinet
The incandescent bulb emits more infrared, which is perceived as heat, but
in a cabinet, a watt is a watt is a watt. They have nowhere else to go, and
all becomes warmth, even if convected and not radiated.
So a 15 watt fluorescent will produce as much heat as a 15-watt
incandescent as a 15-watt goldenrod.
