The problem i found with them is that there is only four exact settings - off, low, med, high - and you cannot set it in between those settings. i hope you have better luck with it than I, but if you don't I would take it back to the pet-store and pick up a lamp dimmer from the hardware store instead.

Oh and I bought my Ranco on Ebay (unwired - which means you or someone handy with wiring needs to wire an extension cord to it for power) or you can buy that thermostat pre-wired from http://www.reptilebasics.com/Ranco-E...d-p-16172.html
or google ranco thermostat and see what you can find
My temp just got set on the rheostat for my UTH, its at 92.2. The probe is under the fur bark under my warm side hide. The ambient temp is 87.3 and its been that all day. And since ive set that rheostat its sat right at 92.2 give or take a few .1 or .2 degrees. But ill give it the rest of the day and see how it fairs.
