New enclosure heat and light advice

[Lord Sorril]

I just temp gunned all mine, and I find no differences between the HS and VE units where they're in similar situations (each runs about 6F above ambient). I do have two HSs stacked, and in a cubby, and they're running warmer than the others -- this could be the cause of your higher temps?

Mine are in the open, some are stacked, and some are not, but, each one is testing about 100-105F on the right side of the unit with an ambient room temp of around 85F.

I made the mistake of putting one on top of one of my incubators one year and it was hot enough to eliminate the clutch closest-even through the insulation.
