2kW still seems like a lot compared to just putting the cameras in a lightless cardboard box, which will work just as well.
This is energy spent because it looks cool, not because it's effective.
- jhgb 5y agoWhy even use a camera? Use an avalanche diode and sample the noise.
- dTal 5y agoOf course. I'm just pointing out the inefficiency by noting a minimal modification that would use less power. An even more minimal modification would be to use those USB-powered "glitter" lava lamps. The idea that 2 kilowatts of heat being dumped into molten wax represents some kind of efficiency optimum is completely absurd.
