i have mainly pulses and heat my reps with a mixture of mats, a ceramic (yes i was shocked too!!) and reptile radiator, the pulse stats can be used for all the above.
i've had no problems with accuracy or maintaining temps with a pulse with any type of heat source {:)] |

Dimmers can be used with both Ceramics and Bulbs and are more accurate, however they are more expensive.
PPs can be used with Heat Mats so that is one benefit.
i find my pp pretty acurate to.. |

for me i have found it easier to maintain an even heat with a pulse, but that might be because the vivs downstairs have larger vents not sure.
i just like them better is all...
But i also like pulses cos they can be used on mats as well.. |

Why do you prefer Pulse?
just my own personal preference and i think they are better than dimmers, but......i like the light off infrared, can see my snakes better. |

The guard is too small for a ceramic, you need about 20x12.
You can get mini ceramics but they will be to small for the viv size. |

Dimming is more accurate. |
