I just received my Zoo Med 150W CHE. And according to the instructions, 1) it voids any and all warranties if used in any fixture other than the "ReptiClamp ceramic fixture" made by them 2) it warns not to put it on the inside of an enclosure.
My first question; where do you usually mount a CHE? I was thinking of mounting mine either on the back wall in the center, or from the ceiling center. Second question; does anyone actually use that weird looking fixture as they mandate for warranty purposes? If not, would a Fluker's fixture rated for 250W work? I mainly dislike their fixture because I can only find it rated to 150W, and I do not want to put the maximum wattage in there, (iguana related housefire 101)
A third and final question; could some of you post pics of how/where your CHE's are located? This is my last piece of "have to know beforehand" placement in designing Falkor's new enclosure.
P.S. - now I have to re-frame his window before serious construction can begin. Not the one in his enclosure, the one in my house!!! Dimwit cut part of it away, it's made from saw mill lumber, so replacing one piece means replacing almost the whole thing!!! Contractoritis should never have infected that nut job...
