Pulse Thermostats. Pulse Thermostats are for non-light-emitting heat sources only, such as heat cable, mats and ceramic emitters. They pulse with greater or less intensity depending on whether the temperature needs raising or lowering - an action that is not compatible with glass bulbs, but works great otherwise.
Also question is, how does a pulse thermostat work?
Pulse Thermostats These thermostats are great for controlling non light emitting heat sources such as ceramic heat emitters/bulbs. They work by constantly checking the temperature at the thermostat probe, and by changing how frequently pulses of electricity are sent to the heat source.

Subsequently, one may also ask, what do reptile thermostats do?
Not only do thermostats automatically monitor and regulate temperatures (arguably the most important aspect of reptile husbandry) they help protect against on of the most common causes of reptile fatality – overheating.
Proportional Thermostats. Similar to a traditional thermostat, a proportional thermostat has a probe that tells it when heat needs to be applied or turned off. Unlike a traditional thermostat, a proportional thermostat works like a dimmer in that it can adjust the amount of voltage being applied to the heating device.
