I've got radiant heat panels in two of my enclosures. I really like them, because they keep the ambient air temperature warmer inside than a UTH--and no risk of bulb burns. The whole ambient air thing is really helpful in the winter in a cold climate like mine--our air temps fluctuate a lot between furnace cycles all winter.

They also make it easier to keep humidity up. I just put the water bowl underneath the radiant panel. You can even mist the panel directly without any concern and get an instant humidity boost.

One of my panels has been in place for two years. No problems whatsoever.

Thumbs up on radiant.
