Please read the whole thread and what I actually wrote.
It is 1 company!!!!
I have been using Reptile Direct items as well as the faulty items(these are NOT by Reptile Direct!) and the reptile direct ones are great, they last for months, the ceramic fittings are great, I am extremely happy with their stuff.
So it is not my wiring, it is not the connections, it is the actual things itself. I contacted the company with these faulty items and have still not heard anything.
MODS - This can be locked, thank you! I am only letting people know... and all this has done is caused arguments, please lock this thread!
