plug spinner/flipper temp. control?

I only use a 25 watt bulb and stay a pretty constant 75 to 80. Anything bigger gets too hot. Both of my spinners have tops too so it is closed up which retains the heat. I have a cheapo thermometer in both the spinners to keep and eye on it. Find the wattage that keeps it at the temp you want. Don't see the need for a thermostat.

Slip, this is a wiring set up idea i borrowed/stole from Joe. Being i string 2 plugs across it allows more even heat on each plug.
My cellar is very cold and i use 60 watt bulbs to keep it around 80 deg. Pexiglass encloses the front.

OK, thanks, I'll use different watt bulbs then.
At 70 degrees in the shop a 100 watt bulb raised the temp about 10 degrees so I guess that is a good starting point if I decide to do this in the cold basement.

I made the spinner like Biteme's and made the wheel so big I didn't leave much room for a bulb.

Mine is not very big (28"x 18" x 16"). I put two 75 watt bulbs in it on a rheostat. On full it gets up to 115 degrees (with the motor running that produces heat as well).
