How do i measure electrical power over time ?

Thank you TinselKoala,

10000 IR LEDs  , they don't make those as Christmas lights either. In other words it still more efficient to burn solid fuel.

Hi Gary,

If you are trying to heat a small room with a 1kw heater you could try a 250watt heat lamp or two to reduce the power.

I had an idea of running a bank of heat lamps then when the heat starts to get comfortable switch them down one at a time. 1000, 750, 500, 250, 100, 75 watt heat lamps. You might need a fuzzy logic controller to switch them as the temperature changes. This way your not running the full 1kw load of the heater as the temperature goes up and only increasing one level to maintain the current temperature.

10,000 LEDs??... im sure Tseung must have had those lit on full brightness using peak-to-peak voltage measurements by now

@e2matrix

What a beautiful little piece of kit !

Is that something from the early 20th century ?

Be careful with the IR Led thing and BTU's. Btu is fully sensable heat which
means a black-body spectrum shape of fully random molecular motion. IR leds
are going to have a particular spectral peak that the IR leds drive EMF at. These
different spectrum shapes don't seem like much but they can be if someone is
discussing overunity. IR heat will become BTU's with time, but the leds may
have made more IR during that time too.
