ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an electric temperature setback device which is placed in proximate relation to a conventional thermostat and is operatively controlled by a timing device for providing local warmth to the thermostat at pre-determined times and for pre-determined intervals. The setback device includes spades with integral female lamp connectors for arraying a plurality of incandescent lamps in series across an electrical circuit. By so doing, the voltage to each lamp is proportionally reduced, decreasing the filament temperature of each lamp and thereby increasing the amount of heat energy produced proportional to the amount of light energy produced.
