See, these items are all foreign items to me. So if I was to look as to where to purchase these things, where would I look? And is there a direct thread explaining the uses, as to not take up all your time explainingOriginally Posted by Annarose15
With how close you are in temps, I wouldn't necessarily bother with the UTH. The first thing I would do is grab an infrared temp gun to get your real temperatures. The analogs sticking on the glass won't tell you what your temperature is directly under the light on the substrate. Once you know your temps, I would still replace the light with one (or more) CHEs so you don't have to worry about light. The reason I would wait until you know the temps is that will help you determine what wattage you should get (100W like the lamp, or higher). When choosing wattage, keep in mind that you don't want it running at full power at all times to achieve your temps. You need some room to adjust up or down based on the temp of the room (winter vs. summer). A thermostat is even better than a dimmer for the CHE, if you're willing to spend the $$.

Thermostat: Herpstat (best)
