Komodo Thermostat 100 w, Maintaining Reptile Terrarium or Vivarium Temperature

My fault for not studying the picture closely but this is a straight on / off thermostat.It's full power or no power for a heat mat or lamp.It has proved fine for my requirements. Construction seems solid and feels like it will last well.My findings regarding steady temperature by using an electronic thermometer and watching closely for a while:The on / off switching happens within around 2.2 degrees celsius either side of the selected temperature. i.e. selecting 23 degrees celsius would mean my thermostat came on at around 20.8 and off at around 25.2 (according to my thermometer).I guess this is so the thermostat and whatever it's connected to isn't worn out prematurely by frequent on / off switching.I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of the thermostat's probe: The thermostat has behaved consistently.

I haven't been using this for long so I will update my review if anything changes but I'm really happy with it. It's so easy to use, basically you plug in and go, you do need a screwdriver to change the temperature setting but it comes set on 19C which happened to be what I wanted. You can use it for a heat mat or a ceramic heating bulb, but not for a light source. I have it attached to a ceramic bulb and it works perfectly. The price that I paid was really good too and it came with same day delivery which was perfect.

Used to control a heat mat to warm a tank for African land snail. Seems to work fine, no issues so far.

Love this product, before this thermostat my bulbs get blowing, I bought this and I haven’t had to change the bulb at all and I’ve had this product for a few months now, my only problem would be to change the temperate you have to use a card or a butter knife which is quite annoying.

I drilled a hole in the side of a cheap plastic seed propagator to get the temperature probe mounted, and this seems to work fine with that.

This works great does what it says on the tin great buy note the temperature on the thermostat may need to be set higher depends on the amount of bed on top of your heat mat definitely recommend 😊

Have had this since 2019 and it has packed up, yet the 2 i have from another manufacturer and are at least a year older are still working fine

The description on Amazon says suitable for heating bulbs. The instructions in the box do not say suitable for heat bulbs. I called Komodo directly and they confirmed this IS suitable and it works well on my 50W heat bulb.
