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 even the minimal impact shatters them.
Red or clear, which bulb color is best?
For many, it comes down to personal preference. We have tested the bulbs and 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 175 watt bulbs. If there is no other heat, we use
250 watt bulbs during chilly, cold weather.
Help bulbs last longer by following these workable rules:
Use ThermoCubes (right) to turn off power when warm.
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.
Protect with a heat lamp guard panel (see left).

Premier bulbs—never-loose base
Base screws onto bulb Large solder
Doesn’t use cement adhesive. Instead, the base screws into the bulb. A large weld of solder fixes the base onto the threads.
$2.00
Heat causes the cement to dry and lose its adhesive properties. Base then breaks away from the bulb.
