The easiest way is to keep the room at 80F. ;-)
Since that isn't feasible for me, I use a fish box (those big
styrofoam boxes that fish stores receive their fish in) that I got
free at my local fish store. I built a carriage that holds two 2-liter
bottles out of scrap lumber. I put the carriage along with a porcelain
light socket with 25-watt light bulb in the box. I regulate the
temperature by adjusting how much the lid is covering the top. It took
a couple days of fiddling to get the temperature correct, but now I
never have to worry about it.
The socket and cord cost about $3.
Hope you have a very nice day, :-)
