Junk
Would Not Recommend2-3 days after using it in a well pump house that stayed dry and covered, the device stopped working. This other option I purchased at a much lower price works flawlessly. (see picture)

Don't waste your time and money
Would Not RecommendIt came on once for less than 5min. Garbage.
Good heat lamp control
Would RecommendI was able to use this to control a heat lamp in my well housing during single digit cold snap and it kept the area at a consistent temperature around 43 degrees.

Did not work.
Would Not RecommendI purchased 3 of these units. one for a small greenhouse with a lamp, and 2 for pump houses. I watched for the light to come on and even at 29 degrees it never came on in the small Green house ( 2' x 4' ) the pump house ones never came on either. thankfully we had plan b for all. I tried it again with no load and at 19 degrees it never worked. I returned them, but since our handyman threw away one plastic container Lowes would not take it back. $25 down the drain. I found another. more simple on...
temps not accurate
Would Not RecommendThis product has been in my pump house when temps have gotten down to the 20s in this pump house. And they have not activated at the low temps. Have to drip faucets to keep pump from freezing Do not recommend this product to anyone. Does not work as stated.
Turns off at a too high temp.
Would Not RecommendFirst off it mostly works and is useable, but it has a very high histersis. It does not turn off until 50 to 53 deg F.
