Which to use

jeannette37 · 03-04-2012, 02:39 PM

Hi I just wondered which of these thermostats would be better to use with a ceramic heat source,I have a Habistat dimming thermostat max 600w or microclimate b1 magic eye thermostat thank you

Both would work just fine.

I have the Habistat Dimming Thermostat HIGH RANGE 600w does the same as the normal one but the range on the dial is from 26 - 40 degrees so its easy to accurately set the temp you want.

I just bought THIS one. Very happy with it. Can take up to 1200watt heaters.

i use the habistat 600w dimming thermostat and its been brilliant never had any probs with it so far (touch wood lol)

Thank you I only wondered because I noticed the microclimate can work with items as low as 5watts but the Habistat is from 40watts but suppose I would only need the microclimate if I was to use with a heat mat

I have the microclimate b1 magic eye thermostat and am very happy with it. You can set different minimum temps for day and night which is very good in my situation. I have my torts in my conservatory so temps can vary both day and night in the winter.
