I keep my house temperature low to save money. However, fruits take longer
to ripen, so I'm going to make an incubator to put the fruits in.
It's really simple. I need these parts:
(1) line-voltage digital thermostat
(2) a box with a glass window
(3) heat lamp or light bulb
Basically this would be hooked up as if it is a baseboard heater in a room
except the heater is a light bulb and the room is a box with a see through
panel.
Can anyone think of an even simpler or better design?

That's one cold house if you keep it that cold that fruit doesn't ripen!
If you are only talking a box about the size of a breadbox, I'd start out
with a very small bulb, a 4 watt nightlight would probably give more heat
than needed.
