This is where I'm also confused ... sorry ...

If I got rid of the heat lamp, and setup another UTH to a lower degree on the right side, then how do you get the ambient temperature up? I thought you said that they're not designed to heat the air like that (or am I not understanding that right either).

Sorry for the confusion, just wanna make sure I do this right *and* understand why it works how it does.
