My completely un-expert opinion is that is rated for ~250watts -- or about the same as putting two or three 100watt light bulbs underneath it all night. I can't imagine thats going to do damage, given your outside temperatures. If it was rated 1200+ watts, then I'd probably be more worried about too much heat.


Can you grab a friend's IR temp gun for a reading? That would put your mind at ease.



PS please report back from time to time about how the pad is holding up -- the pad sounds like a good idea for those that need it.
