Carbon Fiber Heaters
High-output heater for lambing pens, chicken coops or horse stables. Not recommended for use in chick brooders.
Due to their high heat output, Carbon Fiber Heaters should be hung higher than heat lamps. This allows heat to disperse over a large area and prevents hot spots. Available in 600 or 1200 watt configurations. (Bulbs and lamps are not interchangeable.)
Built-in “kill switch” turns the unit off if an unsafe angle occurs. So if it falls or is smashed, the heater is immediately disabled. Protects your buildings, livestock, poultry and pets.
Carbon fiber bulbs have a very long life and are efficient—98% of watts become heat.
Common Uses
- Warming lambs and goat kids in orphan pens
- Added warmth in barns or stables
Specs
- Unique internal tilt switch turns the unit off if an unsafe angle (greater than 30°) is reached.
- High-output carbon fiber bulbs produce 4-6 times more heat than conventional bulbs.
- Simple on/off switch.
- Secure hanging attachment.
- 7.5 ft of cord.
- Cooling fins reduce heat build-up around electronic controls.
- Included reflecting cone directs heat downward toward livestock.
- Wire grill prevents animals or birds from contacting bulbs.
Tips
Precautions
Do not enclose in barrels or other similar enclosed locations. They heat must be able to move away from the heating unit.
When installing new bulbs, be sure to handle the bulb with a cloth or covering. This prevents oil transfer from your hands to the bulb, which reduces its usable life.
Replacement Bulbs (sold separately) MUST be matched to the correct heater. Use 600W heater with 600W bulb. Use 1200W heater with 1200W bulb.
Note: Even though we find our heaters safer than common metal lamps, we still take every precaution to reduce fire risk. Secure the lamp several feet above the ground where it cannot be jostled by livestock.
Warning: Risk of electrical shock—Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.

Heavy duty and well made, keeps our lambing and kidding pens warm.

I only gave it a 3 because I can't use this heater in my current setup. I read the information for the product that said it needs to be hung higher than a normal lamp and it would require a few feet. When I got the lamp the instructions state you need 5' of clearance. I don't have 5' of clearance for the lamp. Closer to 3'6" so I am afraid to try it out for safety reasons. We did turn the lamp on and it seemed to generate the amount of heat we expected. We are hoping that maybe over the summer we can figure out a new configuration for next winter so we can use the lamp.

Love this. I only wish I could use the 1200 watt, but I think I need new wiring.

3 baby goats were born just before our Polar Vortex. Even at -25 windchill, 0 degrees, the babies and moms enjoyed a 30 degree stall. I installed a ceiling of insulation 6 ft from the floor with 3 inch insulation foam boards to hold in the heat of the heat lamp. Everybody is happy and healthy thanks to this heat lamp!

I am very pleased with this lamp, so pleased I bought a second one. I also have 3 of their other heat lamps which I love! I am so amazed at the incredibly fast shipping and great packaging! Premier 1 is the best!!!
