Herpstat or rheostat?

[tttaylorrr]

Hey I knew id found here again, thought it would be better to create a new thread than quote you again on the old one.
What made me do this post was cause i talked with Brian Gundy you might know him, very experienced breeder. He recommended the dimmer cause it would not be turning on and of constantly. Also they are more affordable i think. Do they live long?
i wanna be 120% sure. Also can I use both UTH and CHE on same herpstat? I always though every heat source should need their own stat unless identical.

Brian.............Gumby?
LOL. of course i know him! he's a legend.
if one thermostat has two inputs, and you need two inputs (UTH + CHE), then a 2-input thermostat is what you want.

Herpstats do not operate 0% to 100%. that's why they're so recommended; you can program their electrical input/output to any percentage.

a dimmer will NOT last as long as a reliable thermostat, especially anything NON Herpstat. i don't have any evidence of this LOL but Herpstats are so well made and so worth the $krilla.

EDIT: i just want to reiterate that you know your own environment better than anyone on the form, so just do your research and trust yourself.
