Also keep in mind since it's not a red bulb, you can't keep it on 24/7. If it gives off white light it needs to be turned out at night. Too much "daylight" will stress out your bp. So that may leave you in the same predicament as having no heat for the night time hours. A light that gives out blue light may work, I am not entirely sure on that one though.

Did you get the same wattage bulb as the infra red?
