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.

Disappointed. Product is made in China. Had I known the country of origin I would not have purchased the unit. I only purchase electrical goods made in USA due to risk of fire. Many products for electrical work made outside the USA seem to manufactured in a shoddy fashion. As I am concerned re the risk of fire I am willing to pay more for high quality electrical supplies.
That said, I followed the installation directions and set the lamp at the recommended height of 1.5 meters above the ground. After running the unit for 12+ hours the recorded temperature at ground level was +/- 60 degrees F, too cold for my baby chicks. So... I have needed to use my heat lamps as well!!!

This lamp works great. First day in use it was 35 degrees and raining; pretty miserable and raw. I have an 8x8 structure that is insulated and after a few hours it was down right comfy in there. I tried the 600watt lamp in the same structure and it didn't work as well. Only gave it four stars because I have only used it for a few days and not sure how long the bulbs last.

Pretty happy with this lamp. It generates a gentler, more widespread heat than a regular heat lamp, which I actually prefer. It does seem to warm the entire 16 x 16 stall instead of just directly under the lamp. Only change I would like to see to give it five stars is for the metal shade to be a bit more heavy duty. It is pretty lightweight for the price of the lamp.

I love this lamp! I am amazed how well it spreads the heat throughout. I put my first one in a poorly insulated 15 x 18' section the barn, and am really pleased with the heat that spread throughout. This winter we had 14 days of really horrible cold (-35C) and we managed to keep the temps about 20 degrees warmer than outside. Am eager to install a second one to keep the rest of the barn comfortable.

Doesn't throw much in the way of heat at all. Tried to use it to warm an 8x8 structure that is insulated and it barely raised the temp 15 degrees. Got more heat out of a couple of heat lamps.
