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 DO's and DON'Ts

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.

This is the best and safest heat light I have ever seen! You can even touch the light casing while it is on and it will not burn, but gives plenty of heat off for the animals.We have been using it for a few months now, during 3 of our goats kidding. I would highly recommend.I purchased this from the recommendation of a YouTube channel called: Delci • A Life of Heritage

5.0 out of 5 stars UPDATE: Great quality product
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2022
UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: I am so very upset, and I wanted to update my original review as now I DO have a huge negative to mention!! Even though nervous about having ANY heat lamp in my pig boys' house, I chose this brand/style, after considerable research, because of the information concerning construction of, quality of materials, and so many positive reviews. I am now seeing negative reviews, and I share in their disappointment. I keep a constant watch over my pot belly boys (cameras in their house), mainly because of heat lamp concern. While cleaning up this morning, and examining the lights, I came across burned marks in not just one lamp, but both. One of the reasons I purchased this brand was because it takes a bit of heat to keep their size house (8'x10' building) a comfortable temp, during the frigid weather we just experienced across the nation. As usual, though, the lamps are only running overnight, as the boys are up and active most of the day. I am so angry to find this happening, even though they are advertised as "safe" up to a 250watt bulb, which is what I have in both. I no longer recommend this light, but DO recommend being very vigilant in keeping a close eye on wherever you have yours placed. I feel horrible that I recommended this lamp to close friends, and they purchased them!

I can't find anything negative to say about these heat lamps. I had been using the metal type heat lamps from my pig boys' house, and I worried constantly they might burn themselves, or worse, they would become overheated, and cause a fire. These are fantastic. I made sure to hang them within a decent distance above where the boys sleep, and, when I received them, I ran them all day. By that evening, the bed area was comfortably warm, and best of all, the "safety shield" piece wasn't the least bit hot, just warm. The exterior of the light stays just warm (not hot like the metal ones did), so no worries of the boys getting burned, OR, best yet, no fear of overheating and starting a fire. I am using 175 watt bulbs in each one, and between the two lamps, the boys stay comfortable. It's been below 30 degrees the past couple nights, and with the two lights, the building, an 8'x10' wooden shed with a high ceiling, stays a comfortable 50 degrees. As someone who constantly worried about the safety of my outdoor animals staying comfortable and safe, I HIGHLY recommend these lights!

3.0 out of 5 stars Lamp is good, but missing the basics
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2023
For this price, you’d expect the bulb and a carabiner to be included. But it’s not. Be prepared to purchase those on your own, and/or a stand for the light if you don’t have something to hang it on. Also, settings would be ideal so that you can lower or increase the temp
