This is is mainly for those with PVC cages, but all input is welcome.

After some reading on here, I ordered a T-8 with a Pro-Products RHP and flex watt. When I called Bob to order the RHP and told him what I planned on using, he tried to talk me out of the flex watt and talked about fires and the fact they are not UL listed so I would have no insurance coverage, that belly heat is unnatural, etc. I thanked him for his input and took it for what it was worth. He also said to set up the RHP with the thermostat probe near the surface on the cold side of the cage.

I have read various opinions on the use of flex watt and rhp's and their set up. But I would like to get a better consensus of what everyone uses and why or why not. My ambient temps In the winter will need an assist from an RHP, but in the summer, I think I could get away with just flex watt. But, if I go RHP only, I can get away with only using one Herpstat 2 instead of having to buy another thermostat.

So so what say you wise sages of BP.net?
