    What is your difference in temps when plugging multiple pieces into a power strip then into your stat?
    I wire all of mine together and then only have one plug into the stat from each rack.
    Some people like each piece having its own plug so they can replace it when it goes bad.
    Its just as easy to do when they are soldered together too.
    Yeah I wire all mine together too. Actually I have flexwatt I got off Ebay on a couple of the top shelves. Later I moved to using Reptile Basic's THG. For me both are working great I monitor them with a temp gun. And I soldered all mine together then used liquid electrical tape, about 4 coats. Flux is the key to good solder joints.
