thanks gmac, I'll get a 300 then. I guess it relates to the size mat you are using?

sort of yes, just maeans the 300w can run heat sources upto 300w so lots of mats or lighting. Will be surprised if yourmat is much more than 20w though ;)

The Habistat 300 watt is a lower rated Pulse stat and is more suited to ceramic lamps.

The Habistat 100 watt Mat Stat is more than adequate for a heat mat.
