  Nah this thing puts out light and probably vibrates as well, so not even 100%.

    Well ultimately it all becomes heat. Maybe a tiny amount escapes a window or something. So we could say 99%.

    But heat pumps still reign supreme, at least until it gets super cold.

      In the end we are all infinitely falling into the pit of entropy

    Light is just heat energy

      Well that’s just objectively wrong. Light is EM radiation, where heat is movement of atoms and molecules. Via incandescence objects can radiate away their heat (following black body radiation), however they are not the same thing.

        What happens when photons emittes from the heater hit items in the room? That energy is imparted into the object, heating it up.

        heat is movement of atoms and molecules.

        Moving atoms don’t physically touch each other. They transfer their momentum with photons.

  Refrigeration just moves heat, it does not create it.

    Why create heat when you can just steal it from somewhere else, though

      “Waste heat” is a relative term.

      Why drink my milkshake when I can drink yours? I can DRINK IT UP!

    It would end up creating some, due to inefficiencies, which may contribute.

    In terms of “use electricity to make heat” it still trounces resistive heating. This whole thread is arguing about the definition of efficiency.
