I was looking through info I could find on them and found out they are on/off and it put me right off, all that gadgetry and they blow it by scrimping on the stat part. will stick to my not so cool looking but very efficient habistat dimmers. I intend on concealing them so they won't spoil the look.
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Why did you tell me about helix stats, they look REALLY good. |

I do like me habistats tho id rather use them than the micro climates
I was reading about the helix stat on tinter web and was reading that they don't work here but euro rep were trying to sort something out with helix How true or if they are sorting something out I don't know
I first saw them on utube and Ralph Davis uses them and swears by them so I thought hmmmm I'll have a search But found out they don't work in the uk :( Please someone correct me on that :)

No I think your right, just had a nerdathon reading session and the products look good but for USA/Canada. I do like that heat plate thing that mounts to the ceiling. |

Its hopefully going to emerge from the mdf sheets like some strange pressed wood fibre board phoenix in 2 weekends time. Just planning out the saw cuts for minimum wastage and then fixings, paint, sealant, etc, then I can measure up the glass and get it ordered from my future step brother in law (if thats what its called, who knows), I have a few pieces of it I got from offcuts and I laid them out where they are meant to go and oh my god its going to be HUGE. |
