Electric Propogation

Novice2020

(1) I received a gift of a Geopod propagator and today I sewed hot peppers (de cayenne). I read the temperature from the lights can get quite hot so I have set the propagator temperature to reach 18 degrees celsius. Is that low enough to compensate for the heat the lights give off.

(2) What other vegetables can I sew now, along with these hot peppers?

The thermostat just detects temperature, so it will automatically compensate for the lights being on or off by itself.
I set the thermostat to 25C in my propagator for peppers and chili and as soon as I see the seeds popping through the compost, I reduce the thermostat to 22C. 
You can sow tomatoes now too - but I don't see the point.
Once all your seed have germinated and they are in little pots - have you got enough space for them all in your propagator so they all get enough heat and light?

I sow peppers and chili in late Feb and sow tomatoes 1st week in March.

Agree with @Pete.8.  It's always exciting when you get a propagator but you need to think on.  
Early germination can be more of a disadvantage if you don't have the space/conditions to grow on.  More often than not, later sown, as suggested above, will soon catch up and still provide sturdy plants.
