Lamp Dimmers?

[martin82531]

The thing with dimmers, from my understanding, is there is not a lot of safety if any, when using a dimmer. One brand of thermostats I like are herpstats from spyder robotics. They have a herpstat 4 for example, this is actually 4 thermostats in one, it comes with four separate probes, one for each heat source, this allows to to program up to four different heat sources at temps of your choosing.

Yeah, but that's PRICEY. I'm just getting started and trying to get the best setup I can for not a lot of cash.

Am I not right on the dimmer, though? Doesn't it make more sense to set up the hot side sensor on my thermometer like you said over the UTH, then use the dimmer to dial in the UTH to the right heat and leave it there, then use the Thermostat to regulate my CHEs based on the ambient temp of the hot side?
