Hi,

Livefood UK Ltd.

This will do you

If I can offer some advice, I only use a 60watt spot in the winter, and a 40watt in the summer. I have the stat set to 120f, but as these bulbs only get to 105~115f it means it is only there as an emergancy backup. So as the bulb never dimms, the viv stays nice and bright.

If you need a hand with the setup, let me know.

Sorry to hi-jack the thread. I think i shall be getting a dimming stat shortly (if the reptile shop doesnt exchange my on/off stat).

Does anyone have any pics of the controller in situ? I just wanted to get a look at how big they are.

Thank you very much.

hi jay thanks for that we have got the light on in the viv at the mo as hubby has just tiled it so trying to dry the adhesive so that he can grout,its a 4'viv and in the hot end we are getting about 120 and in the cool end we are struggling to get 75 and we havent even cut the vents in yet

Hi,

Put the vents in anyway as if you don't the humidity will be too hi, though you probably already know that. It is better to have the cool end too cool, than too warm. Anything over 70f is fine for the winter, it will get hotter in the summer anyway
