An easy-to-use temperature control system for all types your terrarium's dimmable heating and cooling devices, or for your incubator. Comes with a 6-foot replaceable sensor probe.
This dimming thermostat allows you to replicate the sun’s naturally changing heat intensity with adjustable ramping-up and ramping-down of your heat device. There are separate temperature settings for day and night, and information is fed to the thermostat through a high-accuracy waterproof sensor probe.
Overall, it allows for an accurate thermo-gradient when set up properly, and it's a convenient and reliable dimming thermostat for your vivarium with an easy-to-use, touch-screen display.
- Securely control the temperature between 36°F to 140°F. Helps maintain consistent and safe temperatures for reptiles and amphibians.
- Gently ramps temperature up or down based on your settings; Heat mode turns on heating devices and Cool mode turns on cooling devices.
- Plug in up to 600W of heating devices and up to 150 watts of cooling devices.
- Built-in memory will save your settings in case of power failure.
- Remote Temperature Sensor with 6 foot cable.
- Great to use with basking bulbs, deep heat projectors (DHPs), ceramic heat emitters (CHEs), heat tape, and heat pads (under tank heaters aka UTHs). Can work with radiant heat panels (RHPs) up to 600 watts, but we do not recommend connecting with added power cords.
- Note: Not for use with mercury vapor or fluorescent bulbs.
About Dimming Thermostats:
These work best with heat lamps. Unlike On/Off thermostats, you can more closely manage the heat supplied to your terrarium with dimming thermostats, because they constantly read the vivarium temperature and then directly increase or decrease the amount of electricity flowing to a bulb to heat up or cool down.
Dimming thermostats are more energy efficient compared to on/off thermostats, they reduce temperature swings, and they cause little stress to the bulb filament, while providing temperature precision.
Dimming thermostats are the best option to be used with incandescent heat lamps (heat bulbs that emit light) and deep heat projectors. They can be used with ceramic heat emitters, heat tape, and heat pads, as well.
