Temp sensor on lights

[dark farmer]

Does anyone have any ideas on getting a small temp sensor or thermostat to remove power from one or two 23-watt cfl's when temps reach 90? Something small for a pc case.

Been having some heat issues. Temps get up to 93. So if i can get one or two lights to turn off then I think the temps will regulate a little better. I'll still have at least 2 lights on, so I don't think 2 lights coming on and off would stress the plant. Maybe the plant will think it's a cloud going over.

I looked at home depot.com, the line voltage thermostat they have is too big for what I need.

that is a problem your going to run into alot.
you could get a tiny low voltage temp sensor, but it will run off of 24vdc, so you will need a powersupply, and a relay to do the switching
