That is what I am doing temporarily. I have it set on 85 and it is holding nicely.

No big cabinet needed and no need to warm an entire air space just for 2 tubs.

A 65 watt ligthbulb can hit 200 degrees. My 60 watts of flex watt heats the whole tub and only needs to turn on occasionally, and when it does, only runs 120 degrees max.

Fire only occur when you plug in too many heat lamps and appliances into a small cheap extension cord and then they try to pull out a lot of electricity from one plug, which can short the circuit.
