No idea.. I check every time I look in there as there's 5 reptile sensors and a decent hygrometer which are all clearly visible..it seems strange. There's always a spot directly under the lights which is 4-5c more than the average everywhere else. As others said, if I shade the sensor it drops around 4c, and heads towards the ambient average.I don't find any absolute I see canopy temperature equal to the ambient, I've seen it 1.5/2c higher and 1.5/2c lower, it can't just be me, who's checking frequently?
For the sake of being thorough I put a naked thermometer on the canopy 1.5 hrs ago... 540w 20"

How come?
So I'm pretty sure it's just the black plastic heating up the small sensors.
I've upgraded to a 6" fan over the 4", and the humidity is a lot closer than it was before in and out, and the light seems to have cooled down a few degrees...probs just bad circulation on my behalf.
