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 chicken coops, 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.

Very Efficient heat lamp produces plenty of dispersed heat
Safety is what sold me.

We've used the Premier heat lamps in the past, this is our first kidding season with the carbon fiber lamps. I hung them in the center of a 10X12 horse stall in case my young does kid away from the Premier heat lamp in the kidding corner. They work beautifully! It often gets down in the single digits overnight in our area and with the entire pen feeling warmer, I feel like chances are in my favor to catch a quick kidder while the baby is still viable. Once the baby is dry and fed, I still have my Premier lights in the corner low enough for the babies to really feel the warmth. These carbon fiber lamps really heat the entire area even outside the stall. The air is just warmer and my kids can stay in the stalls with their new baby goats without feeling the cold themselves.

I love these lamps! I have 4 others, and this year have put them into my chicken coops... the water doesn’t freeze anymore, and I am able to keep the coop temperature about 15 degrees C warmer than outside. The last 2 days we had -20 C (I think that’s around -2 degrees F), and my coop was -2... (30F) very cozy compared to the outside. I bought a large one now, and love how the warmth spreads so evenly.

Love this heat lamp. Can feel the warmth several feet away.

Easy to assemble. Works great in the goat barn. Just enough heat for sub zero nights.
