It's extremely hot.br>When plugged into our lizard enclosure, it can reach temperatures of 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit. a temperature of one hundred degrees
I haven't decided yet. You'll need to do some research on them if you don't want to start a fire.
I'm not sure what the exact temperature was, but it was fine for day old chicks. It wasn't hung too low or too high, but it was just right to keep them warm.
Mine is screwed into a reptile lamp so it can handle the wattage, and it hasn't burned or sparked yet. It's plugged in and turned on for the entire night. I don't use a timer, but I do turn it off during the day because it isn't necessary during the hotter hours.

It was connected to a reptile light. They are low energy use and helpful, but the dangers of these aren't explained thoroughly by the seller. I was lucky enough to wake up when it fell and caught a pillow on fire; it would've gone horribly wrong if I hadn't caught it in time. I mentioned it in an outdoor group, and several people responded, saying they knew friends and new homesteaders who had burned down their barns, coops, and houses. Be wary of the buyer!.
I thought I'd figured out the perfect way to keep our Hermit Crab habitat between 75 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. It was 80 degrees outside, but only 72 degrees inside our house. I was looking for radiant heat (from above) without any additional light. For about a month, it was in use 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I would have given it five stars if it had lasted two months, 30 days x 24 hours/day = approximately 700 hours, or about half of the expected life of 1500 hours. I'm going to return it and look for something that will last longer.
The heat lamp bulb in the chicken coop had burned out again, so this was purchased to replace it. When a cold spell hit Texas, well water pipes could be safely thawed. Was a lifesaver for me. Despite the fact that our heat tape failed, the bulbs kept us warm in subzero temperatures.
Ceramic emitters do get that hot, believe it or not. I decided to investigate after a pot holder on which I had placed it began to brown. These are excellent value for money. I paid $40 for one at the pet store, so it's not a bad deal. The face was about 4" across, whereas these were only 3 inches across. I've only had it for about three days, so I can't comment on how long it will last. These, on the other hand, tend to last quite a while.
These are extremely inexpensive, come in a set of two, and get the tank to the perfect temperature. They aren't as hot as the store-bought ones. However, I purchased bulbs, which are ideal for my python's small tank. A 100w bulb heats her 20g tank to around 90 degrees, so if you're looking for an emitter for a hotter-loving animal like a bearded dragon, this might not be the bulb for you.
These don't produce a lot of heat, just enough to keep them warm in a small enclosed space (without harming them if they come into contact with it) as long as the temperature doesn't drop too low. If you're expecting cool temperatures or drafts, a higher wattage might be required. Other than raising and lowering the fixture, it fits in a standard bulb socket and has no temperature control (as Amazon requested in the review). For me, having heat without a light to keep them awake all night was sufficient.
There is no way to know how long something will last. I'm not sure how long it'll last, but it works fine for me. So, I went to Amazon and bought some 100 watt bulbs, which are a whole different story. My 60w, on the other hand, works perfectly and doesn't emit any unpleasant odors. There will be no melting. There are no sparks. Take care with your purchases and be prepared to return them if necessary. Ceramic bulbs purchased on the internet are a big hit. miss. br>br>Gives me 72 degrees at 2. The thermometer is 5 feet away. I'd like more, but for the time being, it's adequate. If the house is warm, set a higher temperature.
These were purchased to be used in a snake enclosure. In particular, a glass tank. They do an excellent job of maintaining the proper temperature. The hot side of a ball python enclosure is set to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. These are used in conjunction with a dimmer. I can get the hot side to the desired temperature with the dimmer. When I run these at full power, the tank reaches around 96 degrees Fahrenheit. If you don't use a thermostat, you'll end up cooking whatever is in the tank. br>br>The unit feels solid, and for the time being, it SEEMS to be able to last a long time; however, only time will tell. I'll update the review if anything changes.
