a pulse thermostat sends smalll pulses of power all the time it just changes how long between the pulses of electricity to keep the constant temp (hence why it is not used for incandesant bulbs its like switching the lights in your house off and on continuasly and globes will blow very quick like this

Even a on off stat will make a globe last alot longer than a pulse thermostat would

Thermostats in 3 sentances
1 Dimming thermostat are versatile and can be used for everything.
2 Pulse thermostats are for heat mats and ceramics
3 On/Off everything but bulbs will not last as long with these thermostats as they will with dimming.
