[QUOTE="FleaMedia, post: 466770, member: 30374"] Binky, I think you are on to a winner with the lighting kit. I have found these: [URL="https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/lighting-connectors/3806429/"]https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/lighting-connectors/3806429/[/URL] I think they should work a charm. In total there will be 3 60w ceramic heat bulbs and 3 thermostats (not 100% sure on power consumption of these but are essentially just a heat sensor, lcd number display and an electronic switch) Bulb: [URL="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0745HKNTD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1"]https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0745HKNTD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1[/URL] Thermostat: [URL="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07748M1R7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07748M1R7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/URL] (thank you China... a reptile specific thermostat from the UK would have cost me around £30) I would like to use something like this for neatness: [URL="https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/lighting-connectors/1613848/"]https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/lighting-connectors/1613848/[/URL] but in trying to work out my max amps I realised that I don't know how to work out the "power factor" for an alternating current.
