You are looking for a solid state relay. The coil side is made to run on a DC circuit but the switched side can handle AC juice. The one you are looking for should be in the $15 range or so.

IMHO any kind of direct heat source (including light bulb) is going to screw up consistant humidity levels.

Inside the garage could probably avoid internal heat needs with proper seal and insulation unless you were in the Artic Tundra or something.
