By the way I am using these heat pads on glass enclosures.
I stopped using zoomed pretty much anything, except a spray bottle I have :P. I had a zoomed undertank heatpad when I was like 15 or something, and without a thermostat. It burned my carpet and could have caught my house on fire....
so yea. I'll post a picture of the ones I use if I'm not using heat tape from flexwatt.
