alanmin4304 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I tried a lot of places down here but could only get the wall mounted ones for lights. Ended up buying them off that guy along with his very good fly traps. I have heard people say they are not reliable but I have a couple that have been going well for over a year.

HaNs Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Ideal Electrical http://www.ideal.co.nz/ Ideal dont stock them, well they tell me they dont. Got one from animates yesterday, $80 odd but it has a probe. Just need to find a 2nd one, they look to be re branded so just need to find a cheaper one out there. May try and DIY one. Interesting how different stores have different service. First store was useless at best and didnt offer to track one down. Reptile section was not below the "Reptile" sign but 10m away. The 2nd one(MT Eden) was fantastic and they went out of their way and checked on the computer and found what i needed in their store room. They where also interested in what i was going to use them for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 A dimmer with a probe, or did you get a thermostat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaNs Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 A dimmer with a probe, or did you get a thermostat? "Reptaprobe thermostat" Well its basically a rheostat with a probe and you select the heat you want, though it seems to vary 5 deg Found some digital ones overseas, may get a box of them if anyone wants one 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Reptaprobe are the ones I use and are pretty good. Available on trademe for $65. I have used the straight dimmers as well but not as useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I would question the quality if digital and cheaper, does sound good though. Thermostats are definitely better than a dimmer imo The ones Alan mention look good, sog use to have a similar unit but was priced around $120 for memory.
