Can't seem to get my temps just right. 60w gets me 98 degrees, 75w gets me 104. It is winter, and my apartment will start to cool off soon. Should I go with the 75w or keep it at 98 with the 60w?
Btw, I'm new to the forum. Ordered my baby Northern BTS from Bonita Galas. He/she is two months old, gets here on Wednesday. Can't wait to meet him/her!

Inline dimmers are well worth the money and will give you greater temperature control as the seasons change.
