If I use an UTH, I usually pair it with a lamp dimmer, and use a temp gun to measure it constantly, but with my racks and my custom cages that use heat tape, than I use ranco thermostats. They are a non-proportional thermostat though, so if they fail, it’s in the "on" position. That is my only complaint about the Rancos! BTW, heat tape is safer AND cheaper than any UTH you’d buy at a pet store... and the UTHs almost always get way too hot (without a control, of course, but I have heard cases of them failing and getting up to 110!!!).
