A Question About Heating...

BboyFrisk Jun 19, 2005 09:55 PM

Hey guys,

Im putting together a enclosure and having some difficulty finding a method of heating it. I considered heat-tape, but i cannot find any that dont have a pre-set thermostat that turns on only below freezing. I also experimented with heating pads placed below the enclosure, but found them too weak. I would kindof like to avoid a heatlamp if possible. I know some of you have heated rooms to put your GTP's in, mine will be in my bedroom and i dont really want to sleep in a 80 degree room every night.

The enclosure is 15" x 9" x 10" and is a rubbermaid, what would be the best way to heat it?

Thanks!

I would look into heat panels i personaly use a red lamp for heat but if its in yout bedroom i would look into a ceramic heat emiter.
