Its not like the flexwatt immediately reaches 130* when plugged straight into the wall. It takes some time to reach that temp. The thermostat will dim the power down (as you witnessed) when it approaches the target temp. Then it will reduce the power to keep it at the desired temp. You might see it go back up from time to time if the temp falls lower than the target.
