[time-nuts] Hobbyist grade or homebrew temperature testing chamber?

[Bob Albert]

Better stock up on 60W bulbs.  They are becoming outlawed.
(Only kidding, a resistor works as well.)
Also, a foam drink cooler will give a more stable temperature.  You can make it leak a bit of heat to get the thermostat to cycle.  The hard part is the thermostat; they aren't cheap - even the low cost ones at the hardware store that work on low voltage.

When I did this for testing labs, I took a cardboard box, a 60w
incadescent light bulb, and a cheap thermostat.  Set the thermostat to
a bit above max ambient and you are good to go.  For more precise temp
control, put a fan in the box to prevent temperature startification.
