Just went out to check. I have one of those two-halogen work lights that you can get at most homecenters for $29. IInitially started with both lamps on but Wayne suggested that that might be a bit overkill if not damaging to the recently applied mortar. So I cut back to one.
This evening it is 15 degrees (F) out. With the dome complete, cladding in place. I also have a piece of insulation board blocking the front of the arch so the only opening is the chimney. The temps measured are identified in the illustration below. Interestingly until you asked I had never looked at it this way, my interest was just to keep the outside temps well above 40, which we have been able to to accomplish with the one light in outdoor temps as low as -8F.
