Digital Reptile Vivarium LCD PID Dimmer Thermostat Heat Mats Ceramic Heaters Lamps/Temperature Controller 600 Watt/Dimming PID600

Perfect for my bearded dragon setup, I'm using it with a 100w basking spot bulb temps are maintained nicely dimming and brightening when temps change, there is a beep alarm that kicks in if the temp falls by 5 degrees a simple button press stops the alarm and it can be turned off completely so it never makes a noise. In all honesty I only hear the alarm when I turn off the bulb it always maintains the temps and I have a 2nd thermometer on the same side and both are a fraction of a degree so it's accurate. It's bigger than the habistat dimmer thermostat but it's well made, my only gripe is the cable is short could do with a extra couple of feet of cable but this is not a big deal. Great value and so far works great.

I got this dimmer thermostat use with a new deep heat projector (DHP) in my leopard geckos viv and it works perfectly. The thermostat is really simple to set up and though the instructions aren’t that detailed they are simple enough to understand. Just set the temperature you need and decide on the differential amount (the amount your happy for the temperature to drop to or rise too) and away you go. The sensor is easy to place and has a long enough wire to have it anywhere you need. From what I can tell it’s very accurate. The digital display is large and easy to see. If the temperature rises or drops too much the screen will flash ‘high’ or ‘low’ and an alarm can also be set to go off to let you know. The best part of this thermostat though is the price! It’s so much cheaper than any other digital dimmer thermostat I’ve found but works just as well! Overall I’m really happy with this item and would definitely recommend it to use with DHPs!

Just what I needed

I bought a habitat dimmer for £50.00, which simply stopped working after around 6/7 wks and could not get it replaced or refunded as I lost my receipt. So was looking for a replacement that was a better price, and I found this one which is heavier but feels and looks much more sturdy, and the digital display is easy to set and use, and we love the audible alarm if the temp goes out of the range we set, as our tropical vivarium heat bulb has blown before and the temperature dropped very low and my redfooted tortoises was freezing when we went to feed him as the habitat one had nothing to warn us. Perfect price for a perfect product.

I must say this is brilliant! it actually works better than my habistat dimmer and that cost double what this does, the thing i like about this is that you can set the temp to 104f that is what my dragon likes and then allow up to 5c either way i have mine set at 104f and allow it to go up to 106f it will not go higher than your allowed max temp i am chuffed with it, you can turn the alarm beep off and the backlight stays on for 10mins of no buttons being pressed, basically plug in set your desired temp and away you go.

Decent little Dimmer thermostat does the job well and is easy to set up, only downfall is the "Alarm" feature that has a window of roughly 5c for you to set... so if you use this in a vivarium that you spray down to raise humidity ... be prepared for an annoyingly loud bleeping alarm that wont stop unless you turn it of

Easy to use. Only thing that’s annoying is that it beeps when it’s 5 degrees below the set temp. Which means when the lights are turned on in the morning it beeps until you press the button. On the plus side it makes me get out of bed to turn it off lol.

Nice big display, quick response to changes in temperature, controllable audio alarm for over/under temperature, changes the power nice and smoothly so the heat bulb should last a good while, and not a bad price either... The only negative point is that there's a bit of a gap on one side of the mains socket, where water could get inside if a water bowl was tipped over nearby, for example. But I guess that's not at all likely, so it shouldn't be a problem.
