Reply to comment by Cute_Clock in One of my outdoor feral cats warm and cozy in a heated shelter I built. by i_am_fear_itself

The light is probably what's making the heat, it's probably an incandescent light or whatever those were called before LEDs.

Yeah, didn’t want to risk a fire hazard so I used an LED fairy string for the lighting, and a heating pad for a seedling rack as the heat source. Heats to ~20 deg over ambient.

All of it on an outlet timer

Thanks. Yeah, he’s the mischievous one out of the 3 that live in my backyard.

Funny, in the five years since I finished this shelter, he never once set foot inside of it until I got the lights working last weekend. LOL
