radiant heat panels

[bcr229]

In what size cages do you have yours set up like that? I've got my new 6'x2.5'x1.5' set up with the probe cool side at 80* and the floor under the panel gets around 85*ish, maybe close to 90* when the panel is running at higher power but it seems to cycle fairly quickly. May try setting the probe warm side under the shelf at 85* or I have holes drilled for probes above the shelf, set them at 87* maybe?

Smallest enclosure is 36"x18"x15", largest is 96"x30"x18". I use proportional thermostats so there's no cycling involved, usually the RHP's are running 10-20% according to the thermostat.

Thanks bcr! I don't know why I said cycling, I've got all my panels on herpstat 2s. I've just found that even with my probe on the cool side it will run up close to 100%, reach temp and then go to 0% and as soon as it drops 1/10* degree below the set temp will go to above 60% power. Not a steady lower percentage like with my other two cages that have probes hanging at the rear of the panel halfway down. I had planned to place the probe that way in my T25 but the shelf would only allow for the probe to hang about 1/3 the way down the height of the enclosure.
