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.

Are they in the same Viv?
If the probe was within the area of both bulbs then it would only get as hot as the probe would let it.

If not then i'd say no, all 3 of my bulbs are different. All 3 are the same 100W Exo terra Pro blacks now and they give off differing levels of heat
