Halogen Floodlight

I had to change the bulb to 75 watt for her house but needed 120 for her conservatory (linear Halogen bulb)

I used this because I had it already. It is also waterproof and robust enough for outside. You could use any ordinary light if your kennel is water/weather proof.

Hyco Thermostatically controlled Frost Heater

200 watt

Frost heater is to guard against lower temperatures at night and earl or late in the year.

This is higher wattage than I need for this small space so set very low to turn on at 11c, the advantage is it has a built in safety guard. Many people use a lower wattage tubular heater.

Halogen Linear R7s 78mm 80W Light Bulb -

Be careful not to touch the bulb with fingers as skin grease contaminates the bulb and they blow more easily. Use  the bubble wrap to protect them while inserting.

double socket

This is for inside kennel, for frost heater and lamp. it goes with pattress box above

People ask how much does it cost to run the electrics?

 

Lamp 10 hours a day( I don't have it on  more than a couple of hours in the morning)

Frost heater on thermostat probably only actually on for 8 hours max.

My rough calculation is about £10 per month

Bear in mind this will only be for the colder months of the year when she's not in hibernation. The cost in summer will be greatly reduced.
