The thermostat is the heart of any terrarium. Without it, even the best heating mat or light bulb can overheat or underheat the animal. But there are several types of thermostats on the market \u2014 and not all of them are suitable for every application. This article will help you choose the right one. <\/p>\n
The ON\/OFF thermostat is the basic model: when the set temperature is reached, it cuts off the power supply, when it drops, it turns it back on. Simple and reliable technology, but it has one drawback \u2013 the temperature fluctuates around the set value<\/strong> (a few degrees up and down). <\/p>\n When to select ON\/OFF:<\/p>\n Our offer includes the Ministat 100W ON\/OFF thermostat<\/a> and the Ministat 600W ON\/OFF THERMOSTAT<\/a> \u2014 differing in the maximum power of the heating device.<\/p>\n Thermostat dimming smoothly regulates the power supply to the heating device instead of turning it off. This means a more stable temperature and a longer lifespan for the bulbs<\/strong>. Ideal for heating bulbs, ceramic heat emitters and reflectors. <\/p>\n Check out the B1 Dimming Thermostat<\/a> or the humidity sensor version: B1 Dimming HT Thermostat<\/a>.<\/p>\n The pulse thermostat sends short pulses of current to the heating device, regulating its temperature. It works great with heating mats, cables and heating foil<\/strong>. Not suitable for light bulbs (causes flickering). <\/p>\n The B2 Pulse Thermostat<\/a> is a popular choice among growers using rack systems with mats.<\/p>\n The EVO series are advanced thermostats with display, daily programming and alarm options. Connected models also offer Wi-Fi monitoring<\/strong> \u2014 you can check the temperature in your terrarium from your phone, wherever you are. <\/p>\n\n
