its a 2.4kw fan heater with oscillating base. Its realy good and puts out loads of heat, but it is 10 amps. i think it will be ok so long as there is nothing else running at the same time.
it has 2 settings for heat 1.2kw and 2.4, if it is running on the lower setting of 1.2kw will it still use 10 amps ? advice please

We only ever use our heater on the 1kw setting and this is more than enough to heat our Khyam Ontario 8 tent to a toasty warm temperature in about 10 minutes.
it will use less amps if you have it on and dont have it oscillating.
hope this helps

If i use the heater on full with it oscillating and an 80w energy saving light on would this trip it ?. i only intend to use it on full to heat the tent first then lower the heat setting.

I have found each sites power threshold to be different, depending on how full it is or how old and used it is. try using a timer plug so you set the time and have it on a lower setting if it trips first time.
