Jed-- Your understanding of black body radiation is different from mine relative to its equilibrium temperature.
Note that I have suggested that my understanding of temperature and radiation emitted by a black body depend upon an equilibrium condition. The substance with the light emission to be observed must also be a black body for the law to be correct. Such a body cannot be a gray body with emissivity less than 1. That is: A body that does not absorb all incident radiation (sometimes known as a grey body) and emits less total energy than a black body and is characterized by an emissivity < 1. IMHO your generalization stated below is incorrect.

It radiates heat energy according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, like any other object. The source of the heat is irrelevant. All hot objects radiate heat the same way, and they all turn the same incandescent color at a given temperature. It makes no difference whether the heat is caused by combustion, electricity, friction, fission, fusion or zero point energy. .......... - Jed
