alanmin4304 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Get a smaller bulb. You can get red spotlights from $2 shop. 2 for $2 at 60 and 100watts. Cheaper to buy and run and does the job as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 If you use a small focused bulb with silverig to act as a reflector it will create a beam of radiant heat and they can pick the temperature they prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
