Posted - 02/02/2011 : 16:07:41 Right so I have decided to upgrade my normal thermostats for pulse thermostats one at a time, I ordered one the other day and have got it today but by mistake I ordered a dimming thermostat instead of a pulse thermostat, do these work as well or is it best to exchange it for the pluse stat? It will only be used for a heat mat Thanks |

Posted - 04/02/2011 : 22:42:24 The habistat dimming stat has a minimum of 40 watts. I really would not reccommend using it for your heat mat a the stat wont work properly. |

Posted - 02/02/2011 : 16:48:23 It would be best to exchange it as many dimming stats have a minimum wattage of heating source they can be used with, eg my Habistat Dimmers have to be used with at least a 40 watt bulb.
The PP's can be used with mats no probs. |
