If you can get a square one or preferably two, take one side out of each and join them together with metal strips and 2BA nuts and bolts to make an oblong then use 2 15w light bulbs.
I kid you not, these work and work very well and do not get over heated.

I had one of these about 45 years ago, it was given to me by an electrician friend who was giving up photography.
This one had the benefit of a thermostat from a cooker wired in, well he was a service electrician with SEEB, fitting and repairing cookers.
