Product Description

ReptiCare® Ceramic Heat Emitters are the perfect 24 hour heat source for all reptiles. These porcelain heating devices screw into a standard porcelain incandescent socket, giving off intense "muscle-penetrating" infrared heat, while emitting no light. The flat-faced design is more efficient and longer lasting than conical designs which build up excess heat internally, ultimately carbonizing the element.

The product does what is claims, which is provide heat without light. My iguana loves it because it keeps his big cage nice and cozy, especially his basking spot. It does get quite hot, so make sure you have a thermometer, timer, thermostat, or rheostat to maintain the temperature you're aiming for and that your animal can't touch the bulb. Make sure you have a dome/lamp with a ceramic socket for this bulb. Also, pay attention to how many watts you'll need for the size of the enclosure you're heating. I was able to find this cheaper on Amazon than the pet stores.

This review is from: Zoo Med ReptiCare Ceramic Infrared Heat Emitter 150 Watts (Misc.)

Uses standard Edison type base (screw in like 60W light bulbs). Nice output power. Using it to keep chicken's hen-house warm during winter months to extend the laying cycle.

One warning, 150W unit can easily burn through wood. Chickens knocked this fixture loose from it's mounting and burned one of their nesting boxes up.

Great unit!
