    RHP users?

    Hey everyone, quick question for those of you using RHP's. Are you using a proportional TSTAT or on/off. Depending on who I talk to some say on/off is fine, but would like to get some general input as to what works for everyone on here. Thanks!

    im using a herpstat and have it set on the pulse setting as opposed to the dimming. I get a more accurate and constant temp.

    Is the "pulse" setting on/off? When I hear dimming i think dropping input power.

    Mine are currently on an on/off type, but this time of year it doesn't seem to matter, they're always on...

    Ok cool, wanting to make the jump to some RHPs for my BTS and my childrens, but wanted to make sure on/off wouldn't kill the RHP.

    Mine are just set to on and off. I have two divided T8s with radiant heat panels on each side. No problems so far. I have them hooked up a a herpstat 4 on the "non proportional setting" I believe.
