But light converts to heat.
I hope you're kidding. Of course sound energy converts to heat, too.
Perhaps it is you who should go back to school.

radiant heat energy
I'm not trying to defend the OP, but loudspeakers overheating misses the point.
Point being then that sound energy is somehow unique--in that it just somehow 'magically dissapears' from the universe...
No, point being that loudspeakers don't overheat because of the sound energy they emanate. They overheat from the energy they DON'T turn into sound.
Ok Mr Pissy... space is 2.7 Kelvin
But if you measured the temp with NO light, or radiation, it would be 0 Kelvin.
Happy Now?
Consider we were talking about heat and not light.
It's also not wasted heat if you are heating your home in the winter.
But the real question was, "which produces more heat".
Get back on track!
Learn the language... what an idiot.
If you can't come up with something better than SPELLING or GRAMMER issues, I feel really sorry for your ass!
I'm also sorry that this is all so new to you that you need EVERY LITTLE detail to UNDERSTAND it.
Yes, when you showed up.
What did you do, take all of them to act half normal?
:-)
The point of this sub thread, though (if I can remember back that far), was that, during the heating season, this heat is not wasted. It directly offsets the demand on the furnace. The 500W lamp (it's not actually called a 'bulb' in the industry) reduces the demand on the furnace by exactly 500W. And if you heat with electricity, then your total electric bill for that month will exactly the same, regardless of whether that lamp is lit the entire month or not. In fact, you could keep 50 if them burning and, as long as you're not opening windows to cool off, it'll be exactly the same. Curiously, you're feeding this lamp with 500 watts, for which it is giving you
500 watts of heat. In an all electric home, the light is, indeed, 'free'.
Which is heat created... which makes his post CRAP.
Sherlocks has spoken...
No shit, he really has.
A few years back, I almost lost my last piece of good brain cell when I decided to attempt to learn ALL the vernacular and manipulation associated with the decibel. ...I'll never try that again.
The devil is truly in the details.

I guess you have nothing substantive to say.

I never said I wanted light at all, get with it. My post was in reply to solar flare who said "Light is not heat"
Where is electricity .24/kw?
The utility where I live burns minimal gas just enough so they can base their production cost on it. For example - using nuclear it cost 1 unit to produce one mw of electricity, two units of coal to produce one mw of electricity and ng cost 8 units to produce one mw of electricity. They list their cost as 8 units to create one mw of electricity and it's perfectly legal under the recently enacted rules re: deregulation. BGE works something like this
50% of the electricity is produced using nuclear, 40% using coal and maybe 5% other and 5% using ng. They legally state their cost is 8 units per mw of electricity.Can you spell rip-off. There will never be anything resembling a legitimate completive market for electricity. Why? it can't be stored,there's no real competition, the local electric power grid weren't designed to ship electricity long distances, due line resistance there's a greater power loss the further electric is shipped and it stresses the power grids which were designed for local consumption. Deregulated electric rates will never save consumers money over sanely regulated rates. The next big rip of coming will be in "delivery charges" already in some areas "delivery charges" and "customer charges" are approaching the over priced cost of deregulated electricity.
I haven't looked at you picture, nor will I, but I assume it reflects your "professionalism."
It shows him playing "pocket pool". LOL
