[QUOTE=Cody John Steele;1464173You pretty much have to have a thermostat, unless your room temps stays 100% level 24/7-365 day, otherwise you will find yourself adjusting your rheostat every time you walk in the room. Also, mine never really raised my ambient temps, and I had to use a lamp to raise them. So what's the point of even using the UTH?[QUOTE]

The Zilla controller has a probe and temp setting on it, have mine set at just about 97 to keep the glass at 93 to 95. I also run a heat emitter just because we do keep our house cold with the a/c at 65 to 70.

My girls will lay on the UTH when they get cold.
