what does the number on the temperature relate to

Within a short time.. Completely nothing. This is a piece of garbage dressed like a refrigerator. Please believe me and the other reviewers here... I've never felt more taken advantage of than by Igloo and their 'warranty'.

Its the color temperature of the light in unit Kelvins. Check this out for more information. http://www.takecontrolandsave.coop/documents/CFLColorTemperature.pdf

Not sure I can answer your Question but this little thermometer is sturdy, accurate and I use it all the time. I've had it a couple of years and it's working great.

The temperature can be read from either side. It will be read normally from the inside but it will be backwards when read from the outside. no problem reading, either side.

On my original review I might not have said that it does go to hundredths at a half degree. So it wii read 13.75 degrees or 13.8. With a little interpolation it is closer than I can mark with a pencil. Hope this helped. I used mine this morning measuring angle on a soffit. It's a mighty useful tool.

Sorry I don't know . But if you thinking about getting it don't . Because when you set the temperature somehow is set by it self the temperature you don't want .

It's just a rotating knob that adjusts the heat intensity (cool to hot). It doesn't actually control a certain temperature number, you just set it by feel. Kind of like the temperature control knob you would find in a car.

it has numbers like 1 through 5. We bought the fan to go with ours and you learn which numbers keep your room the temperature you want. We have had ours for several years and keep an 8 room house nice. Hope this helps

The ambient temperature refers to the temperature where the unit is located. If it's outside (hope not) than it's 35. If it's 70 in the house than that's your ambient temp. My kitties love these beds.

It's not calibrated in numbers, it's just a dial with some lines on it. We have never had to turn it up full, that would make the bathroom very hot. It's toasty when it's at 3/4.

Sorry, you have to push the up or down arrow button to display the set temperature. On the other hand, after your system has operated for a while, the displayed ambient temp. is pretty much the set temp. because of the rather narrow temp. "swing" (even with the maximum "swing" of 1-1/4 degree F).

usually just a few seconds but since it tells the actual temperature too, you can watch the reading go up in degrees, as the progression slows it is getting close to the actual temp.

The outer ring of blue numbers is Farenheit & easily read from a distance. The inner ring of smaller white numbers is Centigrade, but can only be read from up close (at least with my eyes). Mine has stayed securely attached to a sheltered exterior window of my house for a year, including summer temps in the upper 90s and winter temps in the 20s, high winds and heavy rainstorms. Since most of the surface is soft & flexible, my guess it would be pretty well-cushioned if it were to come off & hit the ground. BTW, I kept my old-but-reliable outdoor thermometer next to this one for several months, and the readings always matched. After that, I felt comfortable taking down the old ugly one.

I think you can assume that it is reporting the temperature at the tip of the probe. I say this because when I insert the whole probe into a compost pile, I often get a reading of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. I know for a fact that the exterior of the compost pile is NOT this hot -- but the center of the pile is!

It's what is called a thermal resistance rating. Read this and you'll understand it easily. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

Since it is just manual you just turn the round clear plastic portion clockwise to raise the temp. The upper reading is what you set the temp at. The bottom or lower number is what the temp actually is. Keep in mind that the actual temp can be effected by being installed in the direct sun or in front of a fireplace so be careful where you install it.

The digits displaying the time are about 1in high. The temperature is closer to 0.75in high.Photos with ruler:https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share?s=7uxkrwWJQIgjpFDRp7e9jU
