For years we've used one of those 250W red heat lamps to keep the chickens warm at night in the winter (mild winters here...). We use timers to regulate the lighting to 14 hours daily to optimize egg production, but I've often wondered if the red glow of the heat lamp interferes with that. I recently came across these no light ceramic heat emitting "lamps":
OMAYKEY 2 Pack 15 W Ceramic Heat Bulbs, Upgraded Thicker Infrared Heat Emitter Brooder Lamp Bulb for Pet Coop Heater Reptile Chicken Lizard Turtle, 24hr Heat Source 1 % Efficiency, Round Shape, Black: Amazon.ca: Pet Supplies
Two of them would be 300W, a little more than with the single red one.
Anyone use these or know if they are any good?
