I have the same issue. I found just buying a heat lamp stand and a ceramic heat emitter on a dimmer works for me.

I have a heat pad set to 88F for the hot side, and I just keep the dimmer adjusted on the lamp to heat the ambient temps to 78-80F.

My apartment is pretty chilly usually - no thermostat control for us people! This works really well for me though.
