When I was in the work force as a welder we kept our welding rods in an old refrigerator
with a light bulb for heat and to keep the moisture away. It didn't
take but a 100 watt bulb to make the rods so hot you couldn't handle them with
bare hands.
I do think one would have to have some kind of thermostat control to keep things
from getting too hot.

I kind of forgot about my box question from a few years back. To follow up, I
made a simple 3'X3'X2' box out of plywood and lumber left over from my Zenith
shipping crates. A 40 or 60 watt light bulb works great to keep the insides above
freezing here is Ohio.
There is only one problem.....when the bulb burns out, it does not call me on the
phone to say it burned out. :( If you just leave it on 24/7, like I did,
it takes two standard 2000 hour bulbs to last a winter. Since I have miss-judged
the bulb replacement timing both winters, I froze everything in the box
solid. I will still use it this winter, but have already taken the things sensitive
to freezing home. I will not use them anyway in the winter, so why leave
them there.

String two bulbs is series. With half the voltage they should last forever.
Or use a CFL ;-)

Gaggle:
Take a LQQK in GRANGER or McMaster.
They have all sorts of heating elements and some even come
with thermostat controls.
They are rated in WATTS and BTU's.
Something like the TAPE PIPE WRAP can be mounted on ALL the vertical walls
of the box and surround the items in heat; with an external temp control.

OR use a 220 Volt Bulb in a 110 line.

Hi Guys,
I'm afraid the series circuiit doesn't really solve the problems. The CFL
doesn't either.
What actualy works is to use 2 25W bulbs wired in parallel. This gives you
plenty of heat and when one bulb burns out the other one still works for a
while. You just need to inspect the setup from time to time to find the
single burned out bulb and replace it.
I have used a similar setup for years to keep wood very dry for fancy box
and pen making. The light bulbs keep the box warm so it doesn't collect
condensation -- at least on the inside.
Good luck,
Paul
