Single tub set up with built in lights and dimmer.

[SteveP]

I built this for my sons room, its a single tub for his amel. Took me about a day and a half with wiring and paint. Total cost including tub, heat pad, light, switches, lumber , and paint was about 35 bucks. All wires are run concealed either behind or under the box then run into a switch box and the extra is run out of the box and then out the side of the box I built and plugged into the wall. Pretty simple and I'm pleased with the way it turned out really nice and clean looking. Let me know what y'all think.

[EmbersMom]

That's a pretty sweet set-up! Very nicely done!

Thanks y'all, my temps are staying awesome too with a less than 2* flux in temp either up or down in the last couple weeks.

That is pretty awesome! I like the addition of the dial along with the on/off switch to regulate it more specifically.

 

[SteveP]

The dial (dimmer switch) is wired directly to the repti therm heating pad. Some call it the poor mans thermostat. I had my doubts about it working properly and actually regulating the temp consistantly. I've been proven wrong for a while now and sure don't mind that one bit.

 

[SteveP]

The switch is just and on/ off for the lights.

im thinking of making something like this but with the dimmer on the front. what type of wood did you use

 

[SteveP]

Sorry it took me so long to reply. Haven't been on in a few weeks.

I just used pine 2x2's and 1/4" ply wood. Nothing overly fancy or expensive in the least.
