Anyone used a ink bird heat controller?

Hey guys,

I need to get some warmth into one of my tents. I was hoping 24 hours of light would hold them where they need to be but it's a tad chilly. I was told about the inkbird a while back, now I'm looking I see 3 models. Will the basic do me if it's just for heat or should I be looking at the more expensive models?

Nice one Marcus. I hate using heaters tbh, would rather waste extra leccy on higher lights but it's not holding up. I'll get 1 ordered. I use fan heaters myself as they are better than any dehumidifier at drying air but even on low its 800w . I already got 1 on my eco controller so I'm dreading what's to come in leccy cost.

I have had my Inkbird a good few year now. It works very well with a oil filled Rad . just remember they have 2200w rating and 10 amps so your need a heater lower than the recommended wattage amps to be safe so you do not burn out the contacts or worse case scenario a fire. I use the ITC 308 approx about £30.

Also i should have said the downside to these is the length of the output lead it is only 30cm long.

I turned the lights off just before I took the pic for a update. It's set to 20 as trying to keep it higher is battering my leccy

Nice one Keeno!

I like to pop my probe up my bottom, then when it hits 38*C it turns the telly off.

My rise in body temperature usually correlates to me getting angry and it's mostly anger from watching the idiot-lantern.
