The ReptiZoo TC04 combines a dimming thermostat and an independent timer into a single unit, giving reptile keepers precise control over both heating and scheduled vivarium equipment from one device. Designed for keepers who want a tidy, capable setup without running multiple controllers.
Two Independent Sockets, Two Distinct Jobs
The TC04 features two separate plugs — one dedicated to dimming thermostat control, and one operating purely as a programmable timer. Each socket works independently, so your heating and your scheduled equipment run on their own terms without interfering with each other.
Dimming Thermostat Socket
The thermostat socket uses dimming output, making it suitable for ceramic heat emitters, basking bulbs, heat mats, and heat cables. Dimming control maintains temperature by gradually adjusting power output rather than switching on and off, which reduces stress on bulbs and provides more stable ambient temperatures in the vivarium.
Timer Socket
The second socket runs on a timer function, independent of temperature. This makes it well suited to equipment that needs scheduled operation — such as misters, foggers, UVB lighting, or secondary nighttime heating. Set it to run on a cycle that matches your species' requirements without tying it to thermostat behaviour.
Power Rating
The TC04 is rated to 300W, which covers the majority of standard vivarium heating setups. Check the wattage of your connected equipment before use to ensure it falls within this limit.
A straightforward, dual-function controller that removes the need for a separate thermostat and timer — keeping your vivarium wiring manageable and your environmental control consistent.
