    Lower wattage of an IR bulb permanently?

    @cswilson Thanks for your input, this sounds like a great idea. if you ever get the time to find the specs of the Thermistor you would suggest we try out, we would love to hear what you think! It is super valuable for us. After our multimeter tests it shows that the bulbs draw 10.8 amps from...
