Yeah, the Stanfield was the cheapest one I mentioned in my previous post. By the way, looks like heat mats (pig blankets) are a tad cheaper at livestock supply places than they are at reptile supply places. We know how all that works, though. We can buy human food that makes good dog/cat food, simply re-label it, double the price & sell it in a pet shop. (I'll not get off on that tangent.)

Yeah, the metal guard on the fixture I found is fairly heavy duty & I am a bit concerned about the amount of heat it will retain. It's also cast, so welding is out of the question. That stuff would pop from here to kingdom come. Been there, done that. LOL!

I think I'm just gonna jury-rig a guard onto a traditional Leviton ceramic base lamp fixture and be done with it.

Thanks!

Later!
Mike
