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

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.
Listed below are recommended optional components or related items. Your particular situation may require alternative recommendations. Please call and talk to our consultants if there are any questions at 800-282-6631.

I ordered three red 175 W bulbs last spring and then 6 red 250 W bulbs this spring. They are well made. The 250W really put out the heat. I had to move my lamps higher than last year with the other 250 W I had. They seem to last longer - I used the 175 W bulbs continuously for 1.5 months last spring and then for several months this winter. None burned out.

I ordered the 175w red pressed glass bulbs. They are thick and sturdy. bulbs from the farm store are fragile and fall apart. I've had one short out and cause a fire. no more worries with these. I will continue to order these bulbs!

I will only buy pressed glass they so far have never melted they are sturdy and easy to screw in no worries about the base snapping off

I purchased the clear PAR bulbs for use as heat in a house for 2 outdoor cats. I have used the ordinary thin type for quite a few years. But a recent winter wind storm blew the roof off the shelter and left slivers of thin glass all over my deck; it convinced me not to use that type again. The shelter is insulated and the 175 watt bulb is adequate. A thermometer about 10-12 inches below the bulb reads about 25 degrees warmer than the outside air. A piece of perforated aluminum is used as a bulb shield so that the bulb will never come in contact with the wood shaving bedding. I use a remote to turn the heat lamp on as needed. I believe I've maintained function but added safety with the use of this quality bulb. Thanks, Premier, for having a product I knew was out there but I was unable to find locally.
