I'm confused.. Is the Herpstat for multiple zones, orrr???? I was planning on getting a herpstat and using it to control the RHP and UTH of a PVC cage. Or should I just use it for the UTH and use the other output for the lights or something...

Thanks.

Haha, to each their own. I'm a major insomniac. Never really get more than 3 or 4 hrs anyway, without the red light.

There are many thermostats in the herpstat line, The herpstat intro, the herpstat intro +, the Herpstat 1 basic, and the herpstat 1 are all single channel thermostats that can only run 1 heat source.

The herpstat 2 can control 2 heat sources, and the herpstat 4 can control 4 heat sources:

But the heat sources have to have the same wattage?? I was planning on the Herp2, and THG Heat tape as the UTH

The herpstat 2 and the Herpstat 4 are literally 2 and 4 thermostats crammed into 1 box respectively. In the case of multi channel thermostats the heat sources don't need to be identical.

A better way to look at this is to say 1 probe = 1 heat source.

The The herpstat intro, the herpstat intro +, the Herpstat 1 basic, and the herpstat 1 only have 1 probe

The herpstat 2 has 2 probes, and the herpstat 4 has 4 probes.

There are different herpstats, some can control multiple because they are like 2-4 thermostats in one.

You can always get a ceramic bulb that way there's no light to bother you at night. That's the only bulbs I use because I like sleeping in complete darkness.
