Grow Tent Heater?

Hello there everyone, after moving to a new house I'm realizing that my grow room is holding right at 70F with the light on and I need it at 82F. I'm running my central air at 74F and refuse to go hotter than that for the rest of the house.

I'm considering a space heater for about $80 on amazon, but I'm wondering if there are any inline heaters that I can duct directly into the tent so I can save money on heating the whole room. I'm looking everywhere for a little heater with a 4in duct exhaust and can't find one anywhere!

It's only a 2x2 tent so I'm thinking I might be able to get away with a $35 unit rated at 1500w placed inside the tent. Hoping you all can help me make the best choice here.

I use an oil filled heater in my tent but it takes up room I'd rather not lose. I've been thinking of switching to floor heat myself. Might be something to look into. It would be more complicated and expensive however.

Get one them Dyna-Glo Fan Vent- Wall Heaters, and hook it up to a temperature controller, it works great!

For your temp controller. Do you just slap some electrical tape on it when flowering?

I removed it and hung it outside the tent.
I do have black tape over my dehumidifier's power light, as well as the fan controller for the small fans inside.
I just recently won an inkbird controller for the temp. Waiting on it's arrival.

Just ordered one. I'm going mad trying to run this thing on a timer. If sun is shinning that shit needs to be off as it warms where I have the tent. If its cloudy nope. It needs to be on. I just need a thermostat to stop the madness.

Does your light not heat your tent? Usually with a 74 degree ambient temp people would be having issues with it being to hot.......
