I converted to an infrared 75W bulb on a new Microclimate B1 dimming 'stat 2 weeks ago and have been impressed. The temp has held at 31C consistently ever since I plugged it in and the temp in the house has fallen significantly in recent days. I do keep a oil filled heater in the room so the temp does not fall below 15C even when the CH is on so that may help.

moved it for you BF54

i am having problems with my cool ends not my warm ends...

warm ends are staying bang on (as they should with a stat)but with my cool ends they seem to be around 12-15*C. so im picking a oil heater upto place near the vivs to help increase it...
