Heat Cable for leo caging: 1st Test done

[Icefire]

At first I was woundering how hot could get my new 150W
30 feets roof deicing heat cable and if it could heat thru my
ceramic "substrate" for my leo

I folded the cable in 2 (15feet of dual cable)
and it game me this :

Cable Temp : 129F = 54C
Ceramic Temp : 97F = 36C

Since I was planning to put around 92F as hot spot
(4 inch x widht of the cage at the back) he show its succesful

that cable cost 36$canadian for 30feet 150w (5w/ft)
I just need to hook it up to my Repti-temp 500R thermostat

next test in a week once all is finish
