Check with Will @Kapidolo Farms

I think Jeff at Helixcontrols.com might still have some RHPs in stock too. He did last week.

What wattage you will need depends on the desired temp, the room temp, the amount of ventilation, and the amount of insulation. A 100 or a 120 is a good place to start, but only your thermometer can answer for sure if that is enough. I use two 80 watt panels in a cold garage on a 3x8 foot closed chamber and had to add a 100 watt CHE for winter to get it done. In a normal living room, in a PVC closed chamber, a 120 watt plus a CHE will probably be enough. Be sure to use a thermostat to control it.
