i now you can double up a 2 heat mats on 1 stat as long as they do not exceed the rate and are excatly the same mats.
can u do the same with bulbs?? as in have 2 100 watt ceramic bulbs on 1 dimming thermostat? would this work? |

i dont get what u mean??
if u mean will they be in the exact same size viv, as in an lx36 viv with a 100 watt ceramic bulb, then yes, they will be |

i tried this with mats and it did not work,if 1 cools faster than the other it has a head start on heating up so will get hotter,if you get what i mean. |
