Ya.. maybe one of those little 8 inch square (or so) electric heaters that blow air (vs glowing red elements) and tape over any lights?

No. Plants absorb about 20% of green light and plants also reflects green light. The green wave lengths drive photosynthesis by helping plants absorb photons in other areas.

if you use any light when plants are sleeping , it will cause plants to hermie. Insulate the closet or use a space heater.

i was kinda under the impression They was some kinda Bulbs that Growers and Photographers use??
This is sort of Heater i'm gonna be getting soon, will be Cold out again soon...so thinking ahead
This only uses 80w, might get the higher spec 1 or get 2?
once i've started looking into converting my Attic will be starting all over again..monitoring Temps/Humidity...
mind got lot to do first, cover the insulation,board it out and build framework, route the Elect....fun,fun,fun(apart from the Spiders..Lol)

being from the uk aswell, I`m sure it wont be long b4 u put the central heating on, that`ll take care of any chill worries, 65/70f (18/21c) is fine at night, don't worry. good luck and happy growing

You can use a green cfl without causing any problems with the plant, I have used them in all my rooms for the last 4 years. Sometimes I forget them on and they stay one for day's at a time, still no issues. I don't know how much heat you will get from them though.
