Simple Deluxe 150W Ceramic Heat Emitter Reptile Heat Lamp Bulb No Light Emitting Brooder Coop Heater for Amphibian Pet & Incubating Chicken

Keeping your animals' temperature right, won't break when hit with mist. I prefer these bulbs over regular heat lamps, Especially when used with the Flukers dimmable lamp. They allow you to quickly and easily adjust the temperature to the pets' comfort level at all times. The ceramic bulbs wear out much more slowly than normal bulbs and do not explode, which means no shards of glass will end up in your critters cage if you accidentally spray the bulb with some water when you mist your critters with a spray bottle or system. As well as that, you can save money by buying lower wattage daylight bulbs, being the higher the wattage, the more expensive they are. Also, they usually need to be replaced every few months anyway for the true UVA UVB to be at their most effective. Although some animals need higher intensities, if your cage is tall and you over the top, then you need the correct light wave at the base. You can still use ceramic bulbs for cold weather or if like me you prefer a home in the 72-degree range. Your critter needs to be at a temperature higher than 74°, but a heat lamp by itself can't do it. I usually eat two to three servings a day All my cages have three lamps that can be dimmed (more depending on their It depends on the critter whether I need to add a heat pad as well. For example, I normally use a ceramic bulb in one lamp for basking, a daylight bulb in another, and a red or black bulb in the third to focus my eyes during the night. Being able to dim either lamp and adjust the ceramic bulb is very beneficial. It is easy to add a dimmer switch to a lamp you already have as long as it is a dimmer type. However, if you already have a lamp you can just buy the dimmable Fluker lamp instead and save money. My suggestion is the Flukers lamps as they have a ceramic socket (and not the usual plastic socket and lightweight housing like the ones at Home Depot, Wal-Mart, etc. Stores such as Target and Walmart) with sturdy metal housings and highly reflective coatings. You can either choose to use a lamp and bulb for your critter if it's night or the critter does not require the heat lamp at night and again the bulbs are less expensive than the bulbs you would use at a buffet.

To avoid a fire, it might be a good idea to unscrew this bulb regularly and check it for damage. I loved them for everything else.

A little too well at putting out heat, but really good for putting it out. My opinion is they become really hot when the weather warms up I wish I would have gone with the 100 Watts instead of the 150 Watts for a baby chick unit, but then again I purchased it in summer. They will probably work better for me in the winter. I also bought these because they do not emit light, as I wanted the chicks to sleep in accordance with the natural cycle of the sun & moon. There should not be a constant bright red light shining on their faces. It's probably not going to sleep well for them as well, so I don't recommend it. As a whole, this is an excellent product, especially when you consider its price.

In order to light a 4x10 chicken coop, I purchased the 150 watt bulb. While the coop isn't just warm, it's rather comfortable as well.

I was skeptical when they arrived, as they looked far too small to provide much heat, but they have been working well Two are installed about 30 inches above the roost, and two are about 2 feet apart. I placed one in a reflector fixture so that it casts just a little more warmth towards the birds, but not a lot. In the past, we've used heat lamps. We got a little more heat but not enough to justify being bothered all night by the light.

The temperature in Michigan was getting really low, and he wouldn't go into any shelter we offered him. Occasionally, he would just crawl under our deck to stay warm. The winter this year has been harsh and our cat has started hovering near the front door We looked for home heating ideas to keep him warm, so we came up with these This is a pet lamp that we use near his bed, which I bought from his bed, towels in it, and these bulbs get plugged into it. The product is loved by him and he continues to use it today. It's amazing how great these lamps look and how they're Because you get two, you have a bonus. It has been 6 hours since we turned on the light and so far, I am still in the first bulb. The weather is warm and sunny now, so Parker is happy. Despite that, his hands will not come close to mine.

The power consumption of mine was 108W, not 150W as used this in place of a heating pad on some sprouts. I just blew a fan over it, and it worked fine. A temperature controller is used to control its cycle. One weird thing I noticed was that I also measured the heat output with a Kill A Watt meter, so it reads 108 Watts, not 150 Watts. Initially, I thought my unit was not as powerful as advertised because I keep it cool with a fan, but even though the wattage does go up by around 10W without the fan to around 120W, it doesn't reach 150W. The Amazon page has both numbers. I have no idea why this is the case).

Upon ordering twice, both shipments turned out to be damaged. We returned the first shipment due to two broken bulbs, and the second shipment arrived with two broken bulbs. The second unit I kept because I really needed it for a light It is the packaging that bulbs are packaged in that causes the problem. I can't get the bare box shipped as it's too thin and does not state fragile. These ceramic bulbs were cracked within less than half an inch of denting, but apparently that is enough to dent the corners of these boxes. This likely stems from repurposing the packaging from lightbulbs which are much lighter to begin with. One 150 Watt lamp was intact when it arrived and is functioning optimally. An odor is noticeable for the first minute and then goes away. * If you can get one that arrives undamaged, it's a good bulb. You can ask an Amazon employee to mark this as needing additional protection during shipping if you read this review.
