We have been trusting and using Habistat thermostats for our own reptiles for decades and cannot recommend them highly enough. Digital Thermostats Dimming thermostats are specially designed thermostats that work with basking bulbs to recreate the natural light of the sun throughout the day. Over a day, the dimming thermostat will steadily increase the brightness and heat of the basking bulbs until it reaches the heat you have set, at which point it will start to decrease the light and heat until it loses the temperature and then starts brightening again. This recreates basking spots in the wild, minimising confusion and stress on your pet. Why should I buy dimming thermostats? The Digital Dimming Thermostat contains a Super Fast blow fuse as a safeguard and protection against heater short circuits. This is effective in ensuring that in most cases the Thermostat is not damaged by the heating short circuit. NEW DESIGN Habistat Digital Dimming Thermostat with Day and Night and Timers, 600 Watt is the top of the range digital dimming reptile thermostat. Fortunately, I looked a bit harder. Wait – there’s a fuse in the thermostat itself. Perhaps this had blown?

Dimming thermostats are the best way to manage basking lamps. These thermostats protect your pet from overheating and control the temperature in an enclosure in a more natural way than standard on/off thermostats. Most dimming thermostats are a little pricey but they pay off, promoting the health and happiness of your reptile, amphibian or invertebrate. What are the main types of dimming thermostats? However in addition a secondary safety feature has now been added that will turn off the heating source in the event the thermostat is damaged by a heating short circuit. The safety cut out is activated by the alarm setting and so its important that you do not set the alarm setting too narrow (close to the desired set temperature) as it will activate this new safety feature. The default manufacturer setting is 3 Deg C and this is the minimum HabiStat recommend for the alarm setting. If a different bulb works in the vivarium holder then you’re sorted. You’ve found the problem and you can stop looking. Old bulb doesn’t work in new holder but new bulb also doesn’t work Dimming thermostats are not suitable for Heat Mats or Fans but ideal for Heat Bulbs, Ceramic Heaters, Reptile Radiators and Reptile Heat Cables.

Hello I’m wondering if you might be able to help me.. I’ve been having issues with my vivarium at the moment. I have absolutely no idea what is wrong but I have a Pygmy hedgehog and if I don’t get this fixed soon he could attempt hibernation.. he is already not wanting to move around as much and I’m getting really worried I have no idea what to do and nobody seems to be able to help. I almost did. When attempting to return the fuse to the assembly, if you get it wrong you will bend the metal lugs that hold the fuse in place and provide the conduction surfaces to complete the circuit. You can fully adjust the alarm to give both a visual and audible warning when temperature goes above or below the temperature parameters you have set. Should you wish you can also disable the alarm fully if it is not required. You can set both upper and lower temperature limits and the readout measures to 0.1°c. Both the On/Off Digital Temperature Thermostats are suitable for most heat sources but are not suitable for Heat Bulbs.

Blown vivarium bulb is one thing, but replacing the thermostat when a simple fuse has blown is expensive! It features a handy day/night function too, meaning that you can have it drop temperature and light intensity at night, maintaining your reptile's day and night cycle. This is the most common reason for a cold vivarium. Bulbs normally blow just after they are first switched on. So if your thermostat is an on/off variety, the bulb could blow at any time during the day. Changing a fuse can’t be that hard can it? It shouldn’t be. But the mechanism for the fuse on the Habistat Thermostat is a bit of a nuisance. It’s a strange mechanism.
