Heat Lamp
Bulbs
Red or clear, which bulb color is best?
They produce equal heat. For many,
it comes down to personal preference. We have successfully raised lambs, kids, chicks, ducklings/goslings with both. Clear bulbs provide more light, which is useful when doing chores in the barn.
What wattage?
If animals are in the house or a heated shed or barn, we use 175w bulbs. If there is no other heat, we use 250w bulbs during chilly, cold weather.
Why do other bulbs often disappoint?
Most commonly available infrared bulbs cost less but they usually fail within a few months. Why?
• Base breaks away from the bulb.
• Glue degrades (due to the heat).
• Glass and filament are so fragile that
minimal impact shatters them.
Premier’s bulbs, by intent and design, address all three of these issues.

Tired of bulbs burning out too quickly?
Help bulbs last longer by following these workable rules:
Use ThermoCubes
(p. 13) to turn power off when the air temperature is warm enough.
Unplug when not in use.
Carry with care.
Don’t power-wash the bulbs or heat lamp.
Prevent animal contact.
Don’t enclose lamps in barrels. This degrades both the lamp and the bulb.
Bulb Comparison
Premier bulbs—never-loose base
Base screws onto bulb Large solder
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.
Other bulbs
Cement adhesive only Small solder
Attached with cement adhesive. Heat soon causes the cement to dry and lose its adhesive properties. Base then breaks away from the bulb.
