Small heaters like that don't heat much, you have to have it very close to you to feel it's effects. The candle heater is a joke. When he says 'heats the room' he means it goes from 60 to 63 eventually. He's a Brit, a 'warm' room to them is freezing cold to an American. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Volts and watts are two completely different things. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

A watt represents how much energy you're using, a volt is how much you have. An amp is flow of current. A 75 amp 12 volt battery can kill you. A 30K volt stun gum with 4 miliamps will not. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Should look at the discussion from the beginning Nareed. Paco had indicated the heater was USB (5v). Maybe you forgot I am an electrician it is quite possible I know the difference. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

But you're Canadian.. Nuff said. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

My brother in law is Canadian, Moose Jaw. He talks a lot about snow and moose. Try and avoid him. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

 It looks like I am an idiot. There are blankets powered by USB connections, but that 200W mini heater is actually plugged into a regular outlet. |

I knew there was a reason you were pointing that out, just not sure what it was... thinking about it, 200W from a USB port would be 40amps for about two milliseconds and a blown fuse. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | As I said, I am the idiot. I was looking at little fans and heated blankets that were all powered by USB ports. I also knew that about 3 years ago they were talking about USB ports that could handle 100 Watts in an effort to eliminate power cords. I mistakenly assumed that this 200W heater was a next generation, but it actually just plugs into a normal socket. |
