I have it heating and have gone through several cycles. I am using one 100 watt and one 75 watt bulb for heat. It takes this thing a LONG time to heat up, like 5 or 6 hours. I am using a hot water heater thermostat and am having difficulty getting it set properly. It seems to always go a degree or two hot or cold depending whether I adjust up or down. I have it very close but not close enough. Ideally, I would use a wafer thermostat setup on this but I have to use what I have for now. I did run across an old waterbed heater thermostat, has anyone ever used one to control the lights for heat and was able to keep the temps stable? I may end up trying that.
