No argument, Neil. Power and heat are the same thing, same formula. I'm assuming the operator is a resistive heating element, could be wrong. If so, 6V across it would produce half the current of 12V, thus 1/4 the power (heat). Would require 4x the current to activate the same CB. Would require a variable PS to test this assumption.
