Hi,is anyone done this and how to do it? Obviously the probe is going to be on the side of the tank not directly on the basking spot,
Setting basking temp with a dimmer thermostat

I use a dimming thermostat. I have better luck using halogen flood lights than the reptile bulbs which give off a hum when dimmed (in my experience anyway). I have the probe set on the basking surface just to the side of the hottest spot and keep it set at 105. The bulb is at a height which keeps it at around 80-100% most of the time. You don't want it to dim too much that it doesn't give off a lot of bright light. I have a heat projector set up on the other side for overnight too. That kicks in when the temp goes below 70 and turns off again at 73.
