Carbon Fiber Heaters
Product Details
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 (30°) 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.

Tips
Precautions
- 600W heater use 600W bulb (#557302)
- 1200W heater use 1200W bulb (#557304)
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.
Due to the high heat output of these units, we recommend placing them higher (further away from the ground or animals) than conventional heat lamps. This will allow the heat to disperse over a larger area and prevents “hot-spots” from forming. Do NOT allow birds/animals direct access to any heater or heat lamp.
Do NOT enclose in barrels or other similar enclosed locations. They heat must be able to move away from the heating unit.
We don’t recommend using an extension cord in situations where it can be avoided. If you do, you MUST use a heavy-duty outdoor extension cord that is rated for a minimum of 10 amps (1200 watts) continuous draw.
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.

Used two of these in our sheep shed to help during the latest arctic blast. It is open on one side. We hung them a little lower than the recommendation, but they worked very well and are safe. (We tested them prior to installing.) Thankful to have them in combination with the deep bedding we put in for the sheep.

Worked perfectly to help take the chill out of stalls during the recent arctic blast. Our stalls are open on two sides so we placed these in areas where the horses could stand under them if needed. They are safe, we tested them, so I was not worried about any accidents.

Works better than any heat lamp we are currently using. I wish I had just stuck with these to begin with.

I love this heat lamp. The lamp puts out a good amount of heat and the safety features are a huge plus. We are using this to help keep a gilt warm. So far this lamp has worked great.
Brad & Jerri S from Texas
This is the third carbon heater that we have purchased, not because the others have quit working but because we needed different areas heated. These lamps are great for keeping our baby goats warm in the winter when it gets cold.
