Great for keeping the chikens warm.

This heat emitter works great for my chicken brooder. I use it along with Woods 0166 18/2-Gauge SJTW Brooder Clamp Lamp with Bulb Guard and 10-Inch Reflector, 250-Watt, 6-Foot Cord and Farm Innovators Model TC-3 Cold Weather Thermo Cube Thermostatically Controlled Outlet - On at 35-Degrees/Off at 45-Degrees to give the chickens a warm place to sleep at night, should they want it. I bought this in addition to the 100W model, as I had a large area to heat. I'm not sure how warm it gets, though the 100W model runs about 660F at the surface, and this is certainly warmer. I would not use this in an area where you or animals might accidentally touch it. A standoff of about a foot is safe and warm, though.

150W bulb is the right one for rearing baby chickens.

The 150W bulb is the one that you need if you're using this inside of a brooder for baby chickens. It doesn't matter if it's the black bulb or the white bulb, but it needs to be 150W to throw off enough heat. We started with a 100W version, and we had to have the lamp 2 inches from the chicks in order to reach 90F. We upgraded to this 150W bulb and now are able to keep the lamp a foot from the chicks and still achieve 90F. So if you're uncertain (like we were) buy the 150W bulb.

First One Didn't Work

This bulb emits no discernible heat. It's useless as a heat source. EDIT: I have revised my star rating from one star to four stars because of the excellent customer service of BYBLight. Upon my initial review BYBLight reached out to me and offered to replace this bulb at no cost to me, without having to return it to Amazon. Unfortunately, I had already created a return label and returned it to Amazon. It's not very often that you encounter such pro-consumer customer service and I appreciate it very much. I recommend BYBLight to everyone who wants to deal with a company that stands behind its products. EDIT: I decided to order another one of these and give it a try. I'm pleasantly surprised at the amount of heat it emits. It's much better than the 150W Zoo Med CHE I've been using. I'm going to order another one so that I have a spare. My little hedgehog deserves the best. I have raised my rating to five stars due to the quality of this bulb and the quality of customer service provided by BYBLight.

AMAZING!!! Would give 25 Stars!!! Keep your well from freezing!!!

This is the best little heater "light" going. Zero light, all heat. I set this up last fall (2017). I installed with a work light deflector (the silver bowl) in my water pump shed on a SmartThings controlled outlet (Actually I set up two of them on the same outlet, one aimed at pressure switch and another at the back side of the pressure tank) So Samsung SmartThings controls the outlet. I set a routine up that if the outside temperature drops below 32 degrees that outlet comes on. My water shed is 6'W X 6'L X 8'H (Kinda looks like an old out house) Plywood side, dirt floor, only insulation (sides only) is that green 3/8" thick stuff from Lowes. First time the temperature dropped below 32 I pulled up SmartThings to make sure it had come on in the middle of the night when the temp dropped. Now the SmartThings outlet tells you the temperature (and a history) of where the outlet is. In this case mounted in a box 12" off the dirt ground. The outside temperature had only dropped to 30 at it's lowest point, but it stayed below the set point all night and the inside of the shed was 59 degrees. Two of these heaters, 6'X6'X8' with just ok insulation. Worst cold we had last year was about -4 degrees outside, temperature in the shed was 35 degrees at that time...12" off the ground. These little heaters are AMAZING, best money you'll ever spend to keep your well from freezing. Just did a rebuild on this. Two outlets, four lamps. One set of lamps comes on at 32 degrees the other comes on at 5 degrees. I doubled the green board insulation in the shed, did the roof, foamed up the cracks and installed a small vent (They need to be able to breath some, or the condensation will be terriable) I also put a padio block floor down then sealed up all the cracks with caluking. In addition I put a Samsung SmartThings water leak sensor and multi-purpose sensor inside. The multi-purpose will tell me the tempature at the top of the door frame (also can set a high limit to act as a heat alarm to detect a fire inside) and it will also tell me if the door is opened (or left open). No leaks, no fires, no freeze, no more worrying about my well all winter.

Nice product! Did the job perfectly!

We have 8 outdoor cats. I built them a nice 2' x 6' two story cat condo. It is well insulated and I used this heater in a paint can as my heat source since it can get below zero here in the winter. I plugged it into a Zilla thermostat controller and set the temp on 65 degrees. The heater works great and hardly ever kicks on. Yes I did use 1/4" sq. wire mesh so the cats can not get within 6"of the can heater so they do not get burned. To say the least they love it. I would buy another one in a heat beat! I could have gotten by with a lower watt heater but with a controller it really dosen`t matter.

Cat's meow

I bought the unit for our outdoor barn cats. They seem to love it.

Nice for our coop in frigid temperatures

Update: The seller contacted us and offered us a free replacement bulb. It must have been defective. Anyway, the new one does seem to put out more heat. We didn't want to heat our Coop too much, just take the edge off when the temperatures dropped below 20 degrees. This suits our needs perfectly. This did not emit much heat. Neither my husband or I can feel much heat even with our hand right in front. We bought this to take the edge of the frigid chill in our coop when the weather dipped to the low teens for a few weeks. We didn't want to heat up the coop too much and run the risk of the chickens not adapting, so I suppose this was fine for that. I feel like I should've been able to feel some warmth, however. I like that it doesn't emit light.

Very good price and quality

Best price for ceramic heater I've found. Used for monitor lizards. It has lasted longer so far than my pet store brands. Don't use this on anything but ceramic fixtures, and make sure you have the right wattage for your particular socket. The 150W keeps a local basking site of 120 F at about 12 inches and kept the 4 x 4 foot room at 80 F average. Kept behind a heat resistant wire mesh for safety.

Great for Chicks.

I used this with my chicks. This is not intended to heat a large space, it's not a space heater. I would also not enclose this in a small area (someone put it in a cinder block and it failed. It gets hot and doesn't shut off at a certain temp so heat has nowhere to go in that situation). Works great for us... also helps me not have to have light on the chicks 24/7 so they get used to night. This is a wonderful product for baby chicks or reptiles. Kept it's heat and worked wonderfully. [...]

My hedgehog loves this heat lamp!

We wanted a good heating option for nighttime for our pet hedgie. This gives a perfect amount of heat without disrupting her nightly schedule. I leave it on 24/7. Just be sure you use a ceramic based heat lamp for this bulb. I have the lamp set directly on the wire top of the cage with no issues and checked the temps with a digital thermometer.
