Halogens are still available and they get just as hot as incandescent bulbs. there are options available other than the "bulbs we grew up with" LOL

Also, there are also small magnetic heaters available in almost any auto parts store for $30 or less. Just attach one near the bottom of one of your propane tanks, and as long as they are enclosed in a compartment or under a cover, they will stay warm enough not to freeze. The heat given off by either a bulb or a heater will keep your propane flowing.

Sometimes ya gotta think outside the box, but there's always a solution if you try hard enough
