Default Thermostat and multi-socket adapters....

Hi all (again!),

Just wondered if it's safe to use a 2 socket adapter on a Thermostat to control either 2 lights, or 1 light and a ceramic heater?

Thanks!!

yep as long as you don't exceed the maximum wattage for the stat although it will be a lot harder to regulate the temperatures in 2 vivs with only one stat.

you'd need to make sure that the one without the probe isn't over or under hearing,.

OK - it would be 2 bulbs in 1 viv though. The stat is 600W max, and the viv only has 1 100W in it ATM, so should be OK.
