[Shop-talk] temp controlled light switch

[Pat Horne]

Skip,

It depends. Is the purpose of the light coming on so that a neighbor 
will know to turn the heat on, or to supply heat to something that is 
low temperature sensitive, or what?

I've seen temperature controllers intended for green house propagation 
mats that will handle a fairly heavy load, but I don't know about the 
temperature range. I just googled
'thermostatic switch Dayton" and got this url 
http://www.drillspot.com/products/145885/Dayton_ET5D6S_Line_Voltage_Thermostat

It may do what you need. There are plenty of thermostatic temperature 
switches that plug into an outlet that have a socket on it to plug 
something  else into.

Peace,
Pat
