●Heavy-duty plastic grill helps to prevent damage to bulbs and animals.
●Can be used as a heat source for livestock, poultry brooders, whelping pens and terrariums.

Benefits

  • Safer* than other livestock lamps
  • Versatile and effective
  • Durable
  • Heavy-duty plastic grill helps to prevent damage to bulbs and animals
  • Very robust

* IMPORTANT safety note! Even though we find our lamps safer than common metal heat lamps, we still take every precaution to reduce fire risk. Please read all precautions before using. Any lamp that falls onto animals and/or bedding has consequences that can be very serious?including fire.

Protected Bulb & Strong Plastic Construction

Constructed using glass-reinforced plastic?resistant to high temperatures and ornery animals. Does not get as hot to the touch as metal lamps.

Use standard or infrared heat lamp bulbs no larger than 250W. Installed bulbs are recessed and contained within an easy to attach protective grill guard.

Always keep the bottom of the lamp at least 20" away from the highest point of the animal. (Can be lowered a few inches when used with chicks.)

Anti-Chew Wire, Superior Hanging System & Vented Chimney System

  • The anti-chew spring wire protects the 16 ft cord from curious animals
  • The vented chimney system allows greater heat displacement
  • Use the integrated clip holder when hanging to secure your heat lamp; the lamp fixture should be secured so it will not be bashed, butted or knocked around. Bulbs will not survive hard impacts and become a fire risk when damaged.

Precautions: Heat Lamp DOs and DONTs

Never lay a heat lamp (of any make or model) on straw or any other flammable surface?for any length of time. We recommend that you keep the lamp at least 20" away from the ground and/or livestock. To ensure safety, please routinely self-inspect the plug and connection (or ask a certified electrician to do so.) It’s also important to periodically check that the bulb is securely tightened in situations where the heat lamp may be inadvertently jostled by animals. Over time, these vibrations may cause the bulb to work itself loose. If a bulb becomes too loose, the electrical connection between the socket and bulb may fail causing an electrical discharge (arc). This is a fire risk and can permanently damage the lamp or bulb.

  1. DO hang the lamp at a height to match the situation. The recommended minimum distance from the lamp to the ground or animal is 20".
  2. DO prevent livestock from coming in direct contact with the lamp. The lamp fixture should be secured so it will not be bashed, butted or knocked around. Bulbs will not survive hard impacts and become a fire risk when damaged. In mixed pens with mothers and babies, we use creep pens and/or lamp guards to protect the lamps from the adults.
  3. DO secure lamps by the top clip holder (not the cord) using a Heat Lamp Clip or carabiner.
  4. DO thread the power cord into a wire panel and away from where animals are likely to reach?particularly if adult sheep, goats or pigs are exposed to them.
  5. Do NOT use bulbs rated higher than 250W. Use high-quality bulbs. Some low quality bulbs have broken off leaving the metal filament in the ceramic fixture. Pressed glass bulbs are stronger, but because of their weight, they are more prone to separating from the base. Smooth glass bulbs shatter more easily when jostled, but are less likely to separate from the base.
  6. Do NOT over-tighten bulbs. Mild deformation due to over-tightening makes it difficult to screw bulbs in and out of the fixture. Major deformation due to over-tightening can flatten the metal so much that the bulb can actually fall out.
  7. Do NOT use lamps in confined spaces or barrels for warming livestock. The heat needs to be able to move away from the lamp.
