According to the, "Dew-Not" specs, the current is exactly the same as calculated by 'Ohms Law'
I think it has more to do with efficiency of heat transfer - I was just going by this quote from the AstroMart review linked to from their site: "In simple terms the Kendrick design has a large amount of rubber involved as well as the fabric overlay. The result is that you must heat the rubber and the fabric before any heat is transferred to your OTA or device. Thus, as per my example stated above, a 14/16” Kendrick heater draws a whopping 4.75 amps at 100% power. By comparison, the Dew-Not 14” strip with it’s unique design only draws 1.92 amps at 100% power."
