    I don't know if it varies between individual dimmers, but all three of mine are set about as low as they will go without being OFF.

    Mine were like that too. Usually I had to turn it up to about half way to get the UTH warmed up, then I turned it down from there. Keep an eye on those temps even with the dimmer TheHabit, it can take up to a few hours before the max temp is reached between adjustments.

    Very true, it took more than 36 hours for me to get mine to a point that I felt comfortable with them. Now that I have them about where they need to be I only have to make very few adjustments when the weather is crazy.
