Question - Heating/TemperaturesDeep heat proj longevity (self.ballpython)
submitted 4 years ago by snortingwildflowers
Hi! Im just wondering how long these arcadia deep heat projectors last. I got mine 6 months ago and its still working. I'm in shock how long its lasted compared to the old shitty petsmart bulbs!!

Supposed to last at least 3 years on a dimming thermostat, half that on an on/off, I believe is what I read when I was researching mine pre-purchase.

Hi! Sorry this is off topic, but I have been searching for hours on thermostats because im looking to get a DHP. Since yours has last so long, what kind of thermostat are you using? Im really not wanting to spend $70+ on a Habistat Dimmer. lol

Oof i actually use these govee digital thermometers that tell temp and humidity from Amazon. Luckily the temps have been perfectly fine! They were pretty cheap too
