Herpstat Pro Confusion

yeah but the thing I wanted to do was cut the light out at 8pm and for the undertank heater to automatically kick on at 8pm till 800am, then the basking light turn back on, cutting the undertank heater off...that's where somebody mentioned the timer.

In our 4' x 2' x 2' cages, we have a flourescent light and set it to be on 12 hours, off 12 hours, set to a light timer. We bought a power strip at Petco that has half the outlets available to set to day and nighttime cycles, half just regular outlets...this is it.

well the herpstat pro would turn the light on using the simulated sunrise then turn the light off using simulated sunset. Not to sure how you could set it up so that the UTH turns on at night to 80 then turns off.

You could maybe set it up so that the you have the high as 80 for at night and using the night drop feature but in reverse set the temp so low that it shuts off completely for during the day.

another solution could be to just use the UTH all day at 90 use night drop to 80 for at night and use either the simulated sunrise/sunset mode for the lighting or just use a timer to turn it on and off.
