I have used this set up for 4-5 winters. The nectar has never frozen. I used a clay flower pot with a brim size that my feeder fits down into so the nectar is within the clay pot. The LED light bulb puts off enough heat to keep the nectar from freezing but doesn't change the 'environment' around the feeder - except for the light that shows through the feeder. Use an electrical cord that has a plug at one end. Feed the other end through the hole in the base of the pot then wire a light bulb fixture to that end. In spring, chickadees love to peel strains of the twine hanger for their nests.
