    Rheostat?

    I'm trying to find a rheostat at either Home Depot or Lowes. I'm looking online, and of course nothing comes up for a search for rheostat. I tried dimmer and got a ton of wall switches with sliders. What am I looking for?

    These will work for an UTH? The description says for bulbs only, but I don't know why it wouldn't work.

    It isn't going to say that it will work for a UTH because it is made for bulbs, but trust me, it works. I have one on right now.

    Levitron makes one also and it's a couple $ cheaper, if your room temps do not fluctuate alot they will work just fine, if the room temps do fluctuate alot, you will have to monitor hot side temps, I use a couple and have had no problems...thus far
