I would be running a proportional thermostat along with the panel and it would be on a timer and off at night. My room is set up with seperate heat an cooling. My room will drop to about to 71-72 right now with outside night temps in low 30s. Humidity should not be a problem.... got to love that...
The panel does provide a true temp gradient... these panels heat items of mass not air temp. The closer to the panel the faster it will absorb the heat. Seems more realistic and the uv bulb would provide the light the closer they get to the light top are of cage the warmer they get. Keep in mind...
