Ceramic Heat Emitter, Heat Lamp Bulb. It Gets Hot! 

@Aplomado Falconer We wound up using a simple incandescent heat bulb like you would get at any Agway. The chickens did fine over the winter with it.

What was the lowest temp you got in winter and what temp did you get in the coop with the incandescent bulb?

@@jorgepadilla21 last winter one night got down to -15F. Chickens did fine. I've never measured the inside temp. I'll have to do that this winter.

I have never seen a “max 80w” socket or an 80w incandescent bulb.

Lol... The guitar guy???

That's what I am wondering,cause I want to use it in a below ground well house.

Did you ever try it ? What was the outcome ?

That’s one heck of a coffee cup warmer.

Good to know. It sound like it doesn't emitter heat but rather heat itself and the air around it. and hot air would go up to the roof.

just get an infrared incandescent lamp, throws out lots of heat

Right? I was expecting.... 200 degrees?

Nothing like watching a heat bulb video & turning it into animal torture 🤦🤡

60-100 watt is plenty for a gecko tank.

i would go with a 60w and use a thermostat. 250w is way too much especially if the tank is only 12in high!

I saw mine around 350 for red lamp and hit 800 on my laser thermometer. Some might not be 100% accurate due to laser not operating good on reflective surfaces but yes it was very hot. I want to run my own test in two different brooders one with red and other with ceramic to see the ground temp.

You have to use a thermostat with them.

The ceramic emmiter is emitting energy only in the far infared with those watts - narrow specturm. 1,000w HPS generates mostly narrow spectrum engery too, but it's visible light (sodium vapor emmision band) rather than far infared. Still really surprising how HOT those ceramic emmiters get. Far infared doesn't travel nearly as far as visible or near infared energy. It's quickly attenuated / absorbed by the surrounding environment / air.

@@wienerwoods Somebody I can ask who might know the answer. I need to heat a chamber of 160 litres at a constant temp of 75 degrees Celsius. If I used these as a heat source in a constant contained airflow, how many would I need? The chamber is cooling at a rate of 5 degrees in 6.5 minutes. At the moment am using a 2000watt element that is cycling 10 minutes per hour so 330w and have a 6 degree fluctuation. I am thinking that 2 x 150 continuosly would be fine.

@@garlicandchilipreppers8533 You say you have a 6 degree fluctuation, but you don't say what your target fluctuation limit is. That's the metric you need to define. Then, It's a matter of putting energy /heat into the system in smooth pulses that are ramped in such a way as to offset cooling / entropy. The problem with using point source / concentrated / focused emitters is that they, uh, concentrate the heat, meaning uneven distribution and greater fluctuation. They also ramp up and down slowly. You need to figure out a way to diffuse the heat these emitters generate if you want smooth temeperature curves inside the chamber. You also need to quantify the heating and cooling ramps (time profiles) of the elements themselves. Then it's a matter of coupling them to a thermostat that can cycle them on and off in a way that responds to the ambient temperature fast enough to maintain the desired thermal envelope. Variable voltage output might help to speed up or slow down / modulate the heat output, but I'm not a mechanical or electrical engineer - I'm just a run of the mill polymath who knows a little bit about everything, and the micro-specifics about very little... Good luck!

Would it would good for my dog 🐕. She sleeps in the garage in the corner

@@playboyzblendz2385 Don't be a piece of shit, bring your dog inside.

u can easily boild water with those temps but it will cause a fire

That's how you burn the house down bruv...

No!

Light fixtures carry a maximum wattage rating (Usually a sticker on the fixture) and if bulbs are installed that exceed this rating, there is the potential for overheating the fixture, especially something like these heat lamps. Always check the wattage of the fixture and the bulb that you're installing.

@@TrumpDoesntWipe thanks Chad. Yeah, don't want to cause a problem.. Now I'm looking at a 350W plug in heater, that plugs right into the socket like a night light. The problem with that it appears, is you can't plug them into a GFI outlet like bathrooms have. Ugh. I don't see why not. I can plug a space heater into it, which has a cord, and it'll run up to the 1500 watts that's the max of the heater. Maybe you have some insight. If not, thanks anyway 😊

@@lesliecogan641 If you can plug something into a standard outlet, you can plug it into a gfci. In fact, a gfci is safer than a standard receptical because they'll trip if there's any issues with the appliance. I would just remember to shut the space heater off when not in use so they don't fall over and catch something on fire when you're not looking. This reason can make them kind of dangerous.

its not in celsius
