Pressed Glass Infrared Bulbs
Surprisingly strong glass. Their
heft and performance have given us
confidence in their warming ability on
cold winter nights.
Same never-loose base as “smooth
glass” bulbs below. Red or clear glass.
175 watt. Sold/priced in packages of 2.
We recommend these due to their
tough, rugged PAR glass
. And we’ve
found 175 watts is enough heat for us.

Why do other bulbs often disappoint?
Most commonly available infrared bulbs cost less but they usually fail within a
few months.
Why?
• The base breaks away from the bulb.
• The glass degrades (due to the heat).
• The glass and filament are so fragile that minimal impact shatters them.
Premier’s bulbs, by intent and design, address all 3 of these issues.
Heat bulbs that last!

Help bulbs last longer…
Tired of bulbs burning out too quickly?
So were we—that’s why we follow these
workable rules:
• Use ThermoCubes
(p. 104)
that turn
the lamp on/off based on ambient
temperature.
• Turn off (unplug) when not in use.
• Carry the lamps with care. This
reduces damage to the bulb. Don’t
carry multiple lamps by the cord,
allowing them to “bang around.”
• Don’t hose off or power-wash the
lamp when the bulb is in place.
• Don’t enclose the lamp. Heat will
build up and degrade both the lamp
and the bulb.
When to use PAR bulbs?
We instinctively select PAR bulbs for
our heat lamps due to their strength
and durability.
We use smooth bulbs when extra heat
is needed (250w vs 175w).
Red or clear?
Which bulb color is best?
For many, it comes down to personal
preference. We have successfully raised
lambs, kids, chicks, ducklings and
goslings with both colors of lamp.
We have found that:
• Red results in less glare.
• Clear provides bright light in
addition to heat.
Our bulbs—never-loose base
Other bulbs
Premier’s bulbs don’t use cement adhesive.
Instead, the base screws into the bulb. A large
weld of solder fixes the base onto the threads.
Attached with cement adhesive. Heat soon
causes the cement to dry and lose its adhesive
properties. Base then breaks away from the bulb.
