I have found them very good and reliable at this point in time. I have been using them for about 8 months now. I have even put 2 on my incubator. I got sick of my microclimates failing - so I went looking for an alternate product. These seem to be doing the job and very accurate. I have about 12 installed now.
These are however an on/off thermostat, so perfect for heat cords, emitters etc. Not to sure about globes (from a globe longevity perspective).
I think you were a little over charged though :shock:
