    Dont want to use a dome with a CHE. The dome will get super hot. The wire lamp keeps things from touching it to easy, but also keeps the CHE from burning itself out to quickly. Have had my CHE in a wire dome for a year with no issues.

    The main thing is the ceramic base to the dome you choose.

    I got the 60 watt you linked me to and am using it in a porcelain based dome that I've had for many years. I read on the product page that it's supposed to be used with a wire lamp, so I was unsure. Still didn't get the thermostat yet today.

    Ugh lame. Hopefully it arrives soon. Going to be a chilly weekend. I bumped up the temp in the frog room at lights out a bit. Not sure how much the cool air will affect the room, its the first winter with the frogs in the Frogment. Only raised it a couple degrees so we will see
