I was wondering about that. It has a light in it on one side that the builder said generates quite a bit of heat. I thought about putting a radient heat panel or something on that side also and using the light during the day and the RHP during the night.

If you use ceramic heat bulbs they dont emit light, just heat, no need to have the rhp as well.........
