Hi Gary,
Was thinking of having a piece of 3mm aluminium plate the same size as the secondary with 2 resistors adhered with heatsink compound between the stalk and the mirror. Will have to hollow a bit of the stalk out to accommodate the resistors. The aluminium plate should distribute the heat nice and evenly over the whole mirror.
I might use some enameled copper wire along one of the vanes for power?
cheers
