are any of those worth the money or any good? i know you get what you pay for. but how accurate are these going to be? and out of the above, whats the best? its needed to control 2 seprate strips of flexwatt thanks for the help!

I know money might be tight right now, but with a few more bucks you could get a johnson controls are a ranco which are both exceptional thermostats. i have never used any of those except the zoo med rheostat with the twisty knob, and i hated it. one of the knobs was out of calibration and would only go up to medium. if I had to pick one i would probably pick the first one. but i would consider saving up and buying the ranco or johnson controls if it can wait.

First of all, a rheostat is not a thermostat.

If you're gonna go with any of these, I'd take the BAH-1000. I've never used them, but I've heard of people that do and they like them (Spruce Nubble Farms and others).

You could shell out a little more money and get a wired Ranco or Johnson's Controls from RBI for $70.

would this particular ranco be good for 2 seperate strips of a foot long flexwatt? if yes and its a good brand then i might pick this up instead.

You're gonna have to get it wired...which Rich does for $10 extra I believe.

I've not used it but I know people that have, and they're very happy with it.

The power strip has multiple outlets, so 2 strips of flexwatt should be no problem.

I'm gonna order that Tuesday when I get my check! The wiring won't be an issue, i know the basics as i have done a lot of car stereo's / custom audio equip and my uncle is an electrician.
