You can put it on a timer as saves you turning it on and off. Mine are on for about 12 hrs a day.
As for the dimming stat it just needs connecting to your heat source which can be a bulb or a ceramic heat emitter and set at 32ish and then if your room is warm it will adjust accordingly.
As for the tube that's easy to set up I think it needs to be about 18 inches from your tort so you will need to get a tube and a starter for it which is a cost but will soon pay for itself as the tube will not blow like all in one bulbs and last about a year I write the date on mine so if your tort goes out in the summer in theory will do 18 months as you wont use it over the summer.
Hope this make sense.
