Jody is spot on with his temps. But I warn you, with higher temps, you must understand the hot area cannot be a pinhole. As it will then burn the monitor. The hot area(bigger then a spot) should be at least the snout-vent lenght. Use several lites of lower wattage, instead of one hot bulb.

I do not use heat emitters or heat pads anymore. My monitors have no need for them. Good luck FR
