Rather than cutting power on and off, it ramps the heat source up and down to hold the temperature the probe reads - which is why it can be used with light-emitting basking lamps as well as ceramics, heat mats and heat cords.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat flexibility is the reason to choose it over a simple on\/off stat like the Ministat: an on\/off stat will make a basking globe flash on and off, which stresses the animal and shortens globe life. If every heat source in your setup is a mat or a ceramic, the cheaper Ministat 600 will do the same job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe B1 is a manual dial stat with no programmable day\/night schedule. If you need a timed night drop, the Evo range is the one to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasking lamps and other light-emitting heat sources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic heat emitters, heat mats and heat cords.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-enclosure setups that need one steady temperature.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting up\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSite the probe at the animal's level in the warm zone, not against the glass and not up in the air, and check the actual basking surface with a separate infrared thermometer. Nothing that produces heat in a reptile enclosure should run unregulated - an unstatted mat or ceramic is the most common cause of thermal burns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee the rest of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reptile-heating-lighting\"\u003ereptile heating and lighting\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.microclimate.co.uk\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMicroclimate\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Microclimate","offers":[{"title":"One Size","offer_id":56142455177538,"sku":"MICROCLIMATE001","price":179.61,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/6676\/0120\/files\/default_8bf79aaa-3cf1-41f5-a43d-579a63c47df8.jpg?v=1789000226","url":"https:\/\/www.peekapaw.com.au\/products\/microclimate-b1-reptile-thermostat","provider":"PeekAPaw Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
