Dimming thermostats are the best way to manage basking lamps. These thermostats protect your pet from overheating and control the temperature in an enclosure in a more natural way than standard on/off thermostats. Most dimming thermostats are a little pricey but they pay off, promoting the health and happiness of your reptile, amphibian or invertebrate. What are the main types of dimming thermostats? The Digital Dimming Thermostat contains a Super Fast blow fuse as a safeguard and protection against heater short circuits. This is effective in ensuring that in most cases the Thermostat is not damaged by the heating short circuit.

Have you woken up this morning to discover that your Bearded Dragon vivarium is looking a little duller than usual? Perhaps you’ve come home from work to discover their tank is sitting at room temperature and the basking light is not working. Do you suspect that your vivarium thermostat might be to blame? Mat Stat Thermostats are not suitable for Heat Bulbs or Fans or Ceramic Heaters but are ideal for Heat Mats, Reptile Radiators and Reptile Heat Cables rated up to a Max load of 300W.

Changing a fuse can’t be that hard can it? It shouldn’t be. But the mechanism for the fuse on the Habistat Thermostat is a bit of a nuisance. It’s a strange mechanism. Basking lamps take up the role of the sun in your terrarium or vivarium, so they shouldn’t just turn on and off but slowly get more intense and then fade. Our range of dimming thermostats are designed to recreate the rising and setting of the sun with high-quality hardware from manufactures like Exo Terra, Habistat and Komodo. What are dimming thermostats? Hello I’m wondering if you might be able to help me.. I’ve been having issues with my vivarium at the moment. You can fully adjust the alarm to give both a visual and audible warning when temperature goes above or below the temperature parameters you have set. Should you wish you can also disable the alarm fully if it is not required. You can set both upper and lower temperature limits and the readout measures to 0.1°c. If a different bulb works in the vivarium holder then you’re sorted. You’ve found the problem and you can stop looking. Old bulb doesn’t work in new holder but new bulb also doesn’t work

This happened a month ago, I got a new bulb and everything was fine however now it’s happened again, I bought a new bulb but no hope, again it gets hot but no heat travelling. I rang the company (prorep) and they told me it was the actual holder for the bulb that was broken so I went and bought a new one but again no hope.

We only advise the use of quality tried and tested, reliable and certified heat sources to be used in conjunction with your thermostat. This is of paramount importance for the safety of your animals and the integrity of your equipment set up. We often receives cries for help that Thermostats have failed and it soon becomes apparent the cause of the failure is a short circuit caused by a low quality heating source. NEW LED DISPLAY I have absolutely no idea what is wrong but I have a Pygmy hedgehog and if I don’t get this fixed soon he could attempt hibernation.. he is already not wanting to move around as much and I’m getting really worried I have no idea what to do and nobody seems to be able to help. Hopefully this post saves you having to replace your thermostat quite so often. Blown vivarium bulb is one thing, but replacing the thermostat when a simple fuse has blown is expensive! I almost did. When attempting to return the fuse to the assembly, if you get it wrong you will bend the metal lugs that hold the fuse in place and provide the conduction surfaces to complete the circuit.

If we miss you on the first delivery attempt, we will try again the next working day. Alternatively, you can visit DHLand easily re-arrange your delivery to something which suits you better! You can choose from the following options: Dimming thermostats are specially designed thermostats that work with basking bulbs to recreate the natural light of the sun throughout the day. Over a day, the dimming thermostat will steadily increase the brightness and heat of the basking bulbs until it reaches the heat you have set, at which point it will start to decrease the light and heat until it loses the temperature and then starts brightening again. This recreates basking spots in the wild, minimising confusion and stress on your pet. Why should I buy dimming thermostats?
