120VAC 40watt heater

Hi, I have an application (home brewing Kombucha) that requires a small heater to increase the temperature for the fermentation to work properly. Does anyone have a link to a cheap readily available 120VAC 40watt heater that can work in ambient heating the air with no fan? I am using a 40watt incandescent lightbulb right now, but it isn't ideal as the Kombucha is supposed to ferment with low light, and tinfoil on the bulb causes too much overheating. cheers, Jamie

Hot plate and a light dimmer?

Just be sure you are not getting heat tape designed to keep things from freezing. Some of them have high resistance at temperatures a bit above freezing.
