Had some issues with our python the other day and needed to get a UVB light on her quick (she was showing signs of MBD, totally unexpected as she has been very healthy for years) so pulled out her IR 100W globe and screwed in a UVA/B 100W combo globe. This immediately went bright as then blew (maybe in 2 seconds, luckily I had bought two!) As this was plugged in to the B1 thermo it blew the fuse out in the unit too. I bought a new fuse today, put the IR globe back in and plugged it all back in. Globe lit up and all seemed fine.
Problem is the globe isn't dimming anymore, the yellow LED has gone off as expected when it reached the preset temp but the globe is still at peak output.
I have built another globe set-up for the UVB light and have that on a straight timer switch so that issue is sorted (I hope) but cant work out why after 3 years of faultless service the B1 unit isn't working when the LED's tell me it is.
Any help appreciated and I hope you understand my explaination.
