GlaStar temperature control The GlaStar Temperature Control is different from most temperature controls. The average control works with a rheostat and is therefore nothing more than a glorified dimmer switch. The GlaStar on the other hand is a pulse timed controller. What this means is that rather than reducing the power to the iron all the time, it actually cycles on and off, more the way your furnace runs. This makes more efficient use of power, but more importantly it will allow your iron to heat up quickly without having to crank the control up to full, then turn it down later. Has 3 wire grounded cord for safety and accepts three prong irons.
