Instructions/Diagrams:

Benefits
- The base breaks away from the glass bulb because the high temperature causes the cheap adhesive to degrade.
- The glass degrades (due to the heat).
- Both glass and filament are so fragile that minimal impact shatters them.
Premier’s Smooth Glass Infrared Bulbs, by intent and design, address all 3 of these issues. When used properly with a Prima Heat Lamp, we guarantee:
- 6-month non-stop life.
- “Never-loose” base! Our bulbs don’t use cement adhesive. Instead, the base screws into the bulb. A weld of solder holds the base onto the threads. In other bulbs, heat can cause the cement to lose its adhesive property. The base then breaks away from the bulb.
If a never-loose base ever becomes loose under normal use, we will replace at no cost. Contact us for FREE replacement.
Specs
- 175 watt or 250 watt
- Red or clear smooth glass
- Sold/priced in packages of two
Tips
- Turn off (unplug) heat lamps when not in use.
- Use a ThermoCube to turn the lamp on/off based on ambient temperature.
- Carry the lamps with care. This reduces damage to the bulb. Don’t carry multiple lamps by the cord allowing them to “bang around.”
- Don’t hose off or power-wash the lamp when the bulb is in place.
- Don’t enclose the lamp. Heat will build up and degrade both the lamp and the bulb.
- To reduce pecking among your birds, use a red colored bulb.
Precautions
Mild deformation due to over-tightening makes it difficult to screw bulbs in and out of the fixture. Major deformation due to over-tightening can flatten the metal so much that the bulb can actually fall out.
Never lay a heat lamp (of any make or model) on straw or any other flammable surface—for any length of time.
Do NOT use heat lamps in confined spaces or barrels for warming livestock. The heat needs to be able to move away from the lamp.
It’s important to prevent adult animals from abusing (bashing, butting, etc.) the lamp fixture. When this happens, the bulb and fixture are at risk of damage. In mixed pens with mothers and babies, we take extra steps to protect the lamps from the adults (e.g. creep pens and/or lamp guards).
Pressed glass (PAR) bulbs are stronger, but because of their weight, they are more prone to separating from the base when repeated jostling occurs. Smooth glass bulbs shatter more easily when jostled, but are less likely to separate from the base.

Heat lamps at the local farm store are $1.99 but I was so worried after hearing horror stories about bulbs breaking that I immediately searched for something better and found these at Premier. They are three times more expensive but I felt the piece of mind was more that worth it. When you open the box, you can feel the thickness and heaviness to the glass! I felt reassured. In about 10 days however, the base separated from the bulb! I emailed Premier and a replacement was on it's way. I started using the second bulb in the box and in two days the same thing happened! I'm so glad that Premier has such wonderful customer service but these bulbs aren't all they are cracked up to be.

First I want to say thanks to Premier1 for the Great Customer Service. I bought these bulbs and the Prima Heat Lamp. When I open the bulbs, the top one was fine, sturdy and heavier than the store bought. The second one however was broken on the stem above the base. Looked like when they packed the light in there was too much pressure. I called Premier1 and the lady apologized and said they would ship me another set. I offered to send them pics or just have them send one and she said no, not to worry about it. Secondly, we did just use the light and bulb for piglets and their outside hut was warm and I didn't have to worry about it falling apart into the straw!! Thanks!

I have been raising chickens for most of my life and always used the old, 250 watt heat bulbs. After talking with a friend of mine about these bulbs and seeing the obvious quality, I decided to get a few. I am very impressed with the quality craftsmanship and the fact that they are 175 watt instead (a little easier on the pennies!), they are designed to not break apart at the base and the company stands behind their product with an amazing warranty! My babies have been toasty warm and I haven't needed to adjust the height or placement of the lamp fixture because they are too warm.
