Weird question...I need something that will draw about 200 watts I can plug in and run all night [View all]
long and it not be something that will get really hot like a heat lamp.
For now I am using a big screen TV to resolve this weird issue I have, but I want to stop using it.
I have a solar system with a battery and until the software bug is fixed, it wont use the battery in the middle of the night when I want it to if the load from the house drops to .2kW or about 200 watts. And my house's resting heart rate, so to speak, in the middle of the night when everyone is in bed, is around .2kW. I need it to be around .4kW or 400 watts.
The only things I can think of are heat lamps and TV's...dont want to use either.
I said it was weird!
