same goes for everything except flouro tubes and compact flouro's

I can see where you coming from twentyb but I'm pretty sure the pulse proportional clips the waveform which should avoid transients even when applied to a heating coil.

There would certainly be no issue in using a dinning thermostat with a ceramic, in fact I would recommend this over a pulse proportional because of the greater versatility offered (i.e. down the track you can change to red spot globes).
