Incandescent light bulbs make a great heating source ... but a 25W bulb running 7x24 will add between $5-15/mo to your HELCO bill (depending on the exact rate).
Put a computer down there instead -- a small enough system (Intel NUC) burns about the same power, and provides more useful output. Use a KVM-over-Cat5 extender to bring the monitor/keyboard upstairs.
