Where do you buy these, the kind that you can plug into a outlet then plug the heat tape into that, i went to loews home depot wal mart and nowhere sold em, does anyone know?

you might have missed them all 3 of those locations almost always have them.

usually found in the light fixture / repair section

At Lowes and they look like this

Just remember if the temps in your room are not stable you will have to re-adjust constantly.

I know for a fact home depot has them.

you might of missed them they look like a small indoor extention cord with a tiny box in the middle of it and typically its a small blister pack. you could also jsut ask for a lamp dimmer

hmm well i had 3 different guys at lowes help me and 2 at home depot and all of em took me to the department there lights were at and all they had were the replacement types for outlets. ill go look again they were all rude and probably dont know a thing and definately did not wanna help me out for whatever reason.

those employees seem to never know anything. Look again, theyare there. Kinda hard to find though

At Lowe's, ask what aisle the dimmer switches are on. In the store I work at, they're with the normal dimmer switches on the very bottom shelf. They look like a white 6' extension cord with a plug on one end and a 'box' on the other.

Direct from the Home Depot site online....

My local Home Depot are idjits. I had to show them where they sell this product. Yes the "electronics" person didn't know the difference between a wall mount light dimmer and a table top lamp dimmer (my oh my color me surprised :rolleyes:). Call Home Depot, give them the Model # and they can check the computer to make sure they have some in stock. They should be located in the same area as the wall mounted dimmer switches that you use in place of a normal flip switch for an overhead light.

Hope this helps. :)
