A safer heat lamp choice!
PUPPIES
SUPERIOR HANGING SYSTEM
Use this reliable clip holder with a heat lamp clip (see p. 128) to quickly hang and secure your heat lamp.
9-3/8" diameter 15" tall
PROTECTED BULB
The bulb is held by a superior ceramic fixture and it’s very secure— recessed and contained by a protective grid. The grill attachment is easy to attach, though it’s still not as easy as we would like.
ANTI-CHEW WIRE
Stainless steel spiral that stops chew prone animals. 24" long.
VENTED CHIMNEY SYSTEM Allows greater heat displacement.
STRONG PLASTIC
The glass-reinforced
plastic is resistant to high temperatures and ornery animals. Does not get as hot to the touch as metal lamps.
Reduce the worry!

Heat Lamp DO’s
1. Do unplug the lamp when not in use. Or use ThermoCubes (p. 129).
Saves $$ in energy and bulbs.
2. Do use 175 watt bulbs (p. 128).
250 watt bulbs cost more to use per hour, and their wattage is often not needed.
3. Do clip lamps very securely by the top clip holder (not the cord).
Do not place cords where it’s possible for animals to reach them—particularly adult sheep, goats or pigs. A lamp that falls onto animals and/or bedding has consequences that can be very serious—including fire.
Heat Lamp DON’Ts
1. Don’t hang lamps closer than 20" from bedding or baby animals that can’t easily
move away from them.
2. Don’t allow adult animals access to heat lamps. It’s important to prevent adult animals from abusing (bashing, butting, etc.) the lamp. When this happens, the bulb and fixture are at risk of damage. In mixed pens with mothers and young, take steps to protect the lamp from the adults.
3. Don’t enclose heat lamps in barrels or similar small spaces. The heat must be allowed to move away from the lamps.
4. Don’t use heat lamps any longer than necessary. Lambs and kids only need extra heat when they are wet newborns or weak or suffering from hypothermia. (We’ve heard reports of folks using them continuously for 2–3 months, too long!).
