Does any one use flexwatt in the UK?
I know it's 110 Volt but if it was connected through a dimming thermostat it should work OK.
Any thoughts?? |

Probably be using a 110/240 step down to bring the voltage into line, but I'm really looking for an opinion on it's performance and usability in a rack?? |

Yeah, we used it in the states, but it was already precut and "assembled" so to speak for us. But to be honest, I haven't seen or even heard of it until now over here. |

dont even know if a 240v dimmer would run a 110v mat?or do you have a 110v dimmer,iknow what your saying,it was the self assembly bit that made it not available over her,very popular in the usa,basicly just a mat. |

even on a dimming start inital start up will be full power until it reaches what ever it set to before it drops down and controls/holds at set temp |

LOL the connections are as safe as you make them.
The stuff now apparently has attained a CE mark so is legal in all of Europe.
Hubbys an electrical engineer I was wondering if any one had used the stuff and what they thought?? |

Is this the stuff you cut off a roll to the size you want?if it is its not legal in the uk because the connections aren't safe. |
