Risky me thinks.... but I suppose you could go with a 15 watt, and perhaps run it through a fader to lower the effect even more. I think I would see if I could mount it somehow to the hammer rail.. extended out and down just a bit. I've heard various reasons come along for wanting somekind of a heater bar in the grand action cavity.... I suppose one could be specially designed to fit rather seamlessly in. DC folks have no doubt run into this question before.. why not send them a buzz ?
