Depending on your enclosure height and ambient temperature, the best heat panel for you may be different than the above recommendations.

These guidelines are not hard and fast rules.

The 120 watt RHP is best for enclosures larger than 2’圆’, open air enclosures or rooms with cooler temperatures.

For enclosures 2’圆’ you would typically use an 80 watt panel.

A 2’x4’ enclosure or smaller in a 75° F+ room a 40 watt RHP will do the job.

There may be a slight odor when from the RHP at first.
