Not really as that stat is for heat mats only. It will switch on and off your bulb. You need a dimming thermostat. The microclimate b1 is best and chepest dimming stat x

will this not be ok then for the mean time, will this work for 2months before i can replace it? just want to know that the beardies will have suffient heat and uv. i can then replace it, if needed...

The problem with them is they dont replicate the natural sun as it switches off. There is no constant heat. So there will be drops in the temperature. Will be ok temporary tho x

Sounds good so long as your uv is 10.0 or 12.0 x
