If it is 1000 watts then it produces a 1000 watts. A watt is 1 joule/sec.
I don't know what exactly you mean by a "heat mat", but your question is kind of backwards. You don't run an electrical device *with* watts. You run them to *produce* watts (watts of light, watts of heat, watts of sound, etc). I believe the thing you are really asking is how many amps are required to run your device. As an example, consider a "1500 Watt heater" that is made to be plugged into a typical wall outlet in your home. The voltage in the wall is 120V, and the heater will produce 1500 watts of heat when plugged into that 120V. To calculate the amps, you divide the watts by the voltage. 1500W / 120V = 12.5A
Use 100 watts
Watts Island Light was created in 1833.
the unit which are measured for power of lights are watts....
None. But it does convert 5 watts of electrical power (energy per unit time) into 5 watts of [light + thermal] power.
20,000 watts
Light bulbs have always used watts.
Lights vary tremendously in power, but the normal incandescent bulb takes 100 watts. Low energy bulbs can give the same light at 20 watts
3,180,000
the watts are 1000 normally
The conversion factor of 1 BTU = 0.293 watts. So, 60,000 * 0.293 watts = 17,580 watts. 17580 watts are required to run a craftsman 60,000 btu propane forced air heater.
