I have come across heating mats for germinating seeds that raise soil temps by 5-10 degrees that i could fit under my pots and turn on when lights out and temps drop.Anyone know if this would work. Suggestions please...

or possibly reptile heating cable,mats or heat rock?... just found zoo med 60 watt ceramic heat emmiter used to heat reptile house at night. Screws into light fitting but gives out no light. What do u think.p.s thekrackla thankx for advise. What sort of heater remember only small box and full of plants so must be tiny. (now thinking 40 or 60w ceramic heater that screws into light fixture with a dimmer attached to adjust temp)
