Yep good idea, I didn't think of that but was not sure if you were working with bulbs or a heating element.
The more "on" time you can get to keep temperature the better, think of a broody she is on the eggs nearly all the time and is just off for short bits.
More smaller bulbs is better than one big one, one burns out you still have heat and given they are spaced out in the incubator the heat will be more even one egg to the next.
Thank you I will try that. I actually have 3 light sockets in the bator, I usually only use the 2 in the bottom. Should I try 2 40w or 3 25w? What t-stat do you recommend?
