This is what I do as well and kept things flowing through last winter in South Dakota. Yes, we used a lot of propane but we stayed warm. Rather than the Walmart style clamp on lights with the thin metal shroud I found some at Menards that have heavier/thicker shrouds and I used a 100W bulb. I also bought a remote thermometer at Walmart (less than $20) and put the transmitter unit inside the compartment near the water lines and the receiving unit inside the 5er. With the light and the furnace running it never got below 45 degrees in there the whole winter.
