Saximus, I did take into account the "non-heating part of the cord" which is why I used the term "operative length". The cord lengths and wattages were based on what was available from the Herp Shop at the time. I have not rte-checked the original data but if I get time I will. In the meantime let’s remove one metre of “non-heating cord” from both”, which brings their respective operational lengths to 3 m and 8 m. Using those figures the wattages per metre would be: 15/3 = 5 W/m and 80/8 = 10 W/m, a difference x 2 as against my x 2.3 in the original calcs. I still consider that quite significant.
