Keeping Plants Warm

[Santiago Casanova]

This is what happens when an electrician needs to keeps his citrus plants warm when it gets cold. Incandescent lamps to the rescue.

I can relate. I pull the door switch out of my garage fridge so the light stays on and keeps my beer from freezing.

I am working with salvage lamps and holders from my sparky days plus free leftover linens from my wedding. No money needed other than the kw I pay for. I also wired the gfci receptacle to run off of a photo cell. It is where I usually plug in Christmas lights but it is great for automating my plant heaters.

You might have better results with ceramic heat bulbs.. they put out more heat per watt than incandescent. Last forever too
