Great point, this would be my concern too. During winter it seems to stay steady at 43-48 depending on outside temp, and if we have a fire going (sucks air from basement). During summer it seems to stay 63-68.

I think even the smallest CFL bulb would overheat a fridge. It would probably need to use a temp sensor to turn it on at x* and off at y*, and even then the top shelf would probably be a few degrees warmer.

I guess I`ll have to play around with a bulb in there for winter.

Anyone know of any digital thermometers I can use for controlling temp ?
