Yup this is correct. For example, my herpstat is setup to 97 degrees for my rack, and the highest the temps will go on the hot spot is 91-93 degrees. Ranco's definitely arent the most ideal thermostat, but its not the worst either and will probably work fine for now. Definitely consider Herpstat or Vivarium-Electronics thermostats when you save up enough.
