Thanks but no thanks, the dimmer is working fine, it just took some tinkering with, and like I said in my first post, a thermostat isn't a possibility right now (unexpected car trouble costs) . I just spliced in the dimmer to an extension cord, added a plastic electrical box to hold the wires, and a light cover, all in all cost me 8 bucks...and I am getting the correct readings (93.7 warm 83.8 cold and humidity at 53%), in a glass tank of all things. I'll try to get pics up when I get my hands on my friends digital.
