Put one light on 18/6, unplug the other light and plug in a $20/500watt heater. Run the light at night and the heater during the few off-hours during the warmer 'day.' Done.


You'll use significantly less electricity, during the "keeping heated" phase 6hrs a day, and you'll get significantly higher quality end product. (vs. 24/0)

true and i think i will also redo my air-intake ducting to really try to pump warmer air towards the "cold" intake window to cycle and then exit the room so it mixes right at entry point.

all a bit complicated but i can see light at the end of the tunnel!
