The 250 watt pendant I was using before was awesome and you can keep anything really but you do have to be careful about heat. My chiller was on all day long about 40 minutes of each hour. I added a fan which helped a lot but then I got some noise and more evaporation.

Oh that may work well then. My condo is very hot all the time and that was part of the problem.

yeah i moved out of my condo for that main reason. just got to damn hot. and in the winter everyone liked to have the heat maxed out as well.

i have a 150w mogul pendant and its not to bad for heat
