Temperature Control

[Rocky2022]

I purchased the temperature control monitor and it cuts the light on and off to regulate the temperature. Today was unusually hot- however, the light shuts off/on, is that problematic for Rocky? Not the heat but the flashing of the light-

It's hard on bulbs. I recommend adjusting the height or wattage of the buld to maintain the correct temp over turning them on and off

Thanks. this makes total sense. I think I have to raise it. I also have a dimmer- any thoughts on that?

Dimmers should be ok because the light stays on. Its the cooling and reheating the element in the bulb thats hard on them.
