In Reply to: will this keep the cage at about 85-90 degrees??? posted by rejekt on May 03, 2003 at 15:47:25:
NEVER install FlexWatt without some sort of temperature regulating device. You will creat a fire hazard, plus the FlexWatt will run too hot for your application. You need to use either a proportional thermostat or a rheostat. I've found that rheostats, while they will work, are a royal pain to regulate. You also need to carefully plan how you locate the FlexWatt so that you provide thermal gradients in the cages.
Even using a ceramic heat emitter you need to use some sort of thermostat to keep from overheating.
