sorry to hichike but just wondering what do people use for brackets when attaching microclimate thermoststs?
and any feedback on those AHS i would love to know 2.

I have seen them and they seem like a good product like all their stuff but not that necessary up here.

Been reading the info. Essentially it is an automated dimming thermostat. You set the temperature and and leave it, then as the enclosure nears the set temperature the electricity is restricted thus lowering the heat.
Sounds like overkill. |

all depends on how long they last. its like the URS vivariums they cost a bit but you will only ever need to buy 1 |

They do save you alot of $$ and time stuffing around with bulbs.. (and pulling light cages off)Thats what the dimmer model was made for.. Gets rid of the constant on / off cycle which blows bulbs quickly. The pulse model are used for highly accurate temp control, esp in incubators.
