You can just about see the bulb guard on the right-hand side in that pic, with the probe directly below it. |

You would have the thermostat probe along side the temp probe, as it's the temp on your thermometer display that you set your thermostat to. |

i agree. i wrap my thermometer sensor arount my stat sensor cos that way i can adjust my stat to the desire level instead of using the dial as a guide.
as for where you would place the probe i use mats so i dont know if its the same as for lamps. |

| 72 is about 22C I think, so that's ok. Strange that you lose so much heat though, is your house quite cold? |
