Re: bulb wattage help.

i got a lamp with a dimmer. you can buy a dimmer cheap at any hardware store and install it on the lamp yourself if you wanted too. that way you can fine tone your temp easily and Ohio winters are cold and i found it much easier to buy a bigger wattage bulb and turn it down in the summer than have to spend 10 buck on a winter bulb when that time rolls around.

I live in Ohio also, and that is exactly what I do.
