Hey guys, so I have 2 identical PVC enclosures setup with two forms of heating. One one side of the enclosure is a 80W Deep Heat Projectors(DHP) from Arcadia housed in a Arcadia socket and Arcadia heat cage for basking/warm side. On the other side is a Radiant Heat Panel(RHP) for the cool side set to 75°F for a consistent heat on the cool side. Both enclosures and their heating is hooked up to a Herpstat 4 Thermostat which is working quite well.



Only issue is, I cannot get the DHPs to heat up to the desired temperature I want, which is 92-95°F in order to create a proper basking spot. The radiant heat panel works fine and I don't believe the issue is with my thermostat. I raised my thermostat temperature to 105°F and still I'm not having any success raising the temperature of the DHPs to the desired temperature range I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
