Questions
Does this maintain the heaters at a certain level or turn the heaters off when they reach a certain temperature?
- This specific thermostat will halt power to your heat source once the desired temperature has been reached as indicated by the probe. There will be more temperature "swings" with on/off thermostats vs a proportional thermostat which are designed to adjust the power to the heat source to maintain a desired temp vs ceasing all power to the heat source.

Is buying these and using them better then using heat bulbs ?
- Hi there! A thermostat is a much-needed piece of equipment. Its used to regulate heat sources for reptiles and amphibians. Heat pads, ceramic heat emitters, and other sources of warmth can get too hot and potentially burn the animals. Having a thermostat is highly recommended to avoid burns and vet visits. I don't know if a thermostat can be used with a light bulb.

does this work with a heat lamp as well?
- No! There is a dimmable version for heat lamps. This will blow the bulbs out fast.
