Re: thermostat question
Let me rephrase that. It was 240 v. I wasn't sure if it could be used here. It was only $80 plus $22 for shipping.

Re: thermostat question
House hold outlets are 120v but there is 240v run into all houses.
Mostly for stoves and such.

Re: thermostat question
Could be just a matter of getting a sparky (electrician) to find you this 240v wire and run an outlet from it near your enclosure. This will add to the said cost of the cheap thermostat though which may not really make it financially viable?
There may be some twin channel thermostats designed for the US market perhaps? A twin channel would be the best solution IMO to what you need, much better than trying to figure out how to splice them.

Re: thermostat question
Twin channels are around $175-$190. I may just grab a couple of zoo meds or hydro farms . I can get two of them for under $60 shipped.

Is "sparky" a common-use term out there for an electrician? That's awesome!
