Thermostat a good idea for ceramic heater in conservatory?

[gbrown100]

I am having a new conservatory put up at the moment. I have bought a 400w ceramic heater which has no switch or thermostat.

I wondered, If i bought a room thermostat would the sun shining on it cause it to switch off even if they room temp wasn't that high?

Also, I have an old style fuse box which I intend to replace eventualy. For now would it be a good idea to have an RCD spur protecting the heater and a socket I am putting in there? (It will run from the Kitchen ring) The heater is only 3 amps...

Thanks

Sun shining in your conservatory wil cause it to get hot. quickly. Wouldn't worry about it shining on the thermostat
