i dont use bulbs only the mat, the terranim is glass fronted and topped so plenty of light gets in, and im only ever going to have corns so i think i will invest in one of those. i might see if the local shop can get one in if not ebay it is. thankx for the help guys. sorry to bug you all again x |

I'd say your good with that one! Although you can't use it with bulbs that emmit light. |

if you go for a dimmer make sure the stat can actually run a mat, i know there is normally a minimum wattage required. Pulse stats are the best for mats |

I didnt assume youd use it without a stat just mentioning its a bit naughty of them to encourage people to use them without one lol
I think the general school of thought is that for corns and off off stat is absolutely fine all of mine are on off as i said though with the habistat stat i dont really get much fluctuation at all in temps

i didnt get this mat for this reason, i used to breed show rabbits (random i know) and i used to have it on standby incase they feed or the mum didnt want to know. so i kept it when i packed up rabbits and moved to a smaller house.
so anyways the habistats are better
do i go for dimming or will on/off work ok? |

Ive got the micro climate and the habistat mat stats and i have to say i find that the habistat one seems to have a lot less fluctuation in temps than the micro climate stat ive got a few of those ultratherm mats like yours in the pic on the supplied paperwork it suggests you dont need to use a stat with those in most cases but you do. |
