We use two different kinds of feeder warmers.  One is a small
clamp-style shop light with a low-wattage incandescent bulb.  The other
is an 8-inch plastic plant pot turned upside down with little bungie
cords to hold it to the feeder and a small low-wattage night-light bulb
at the end of an electrical cord normally used for a little lighted
Christmas house (small hole in the bottom of the plant pot to hold the
bulb).  You can see photos of both of these at this Flickr link:
