SIHIUT Ceramic Heat Emitter, 60W Ceramic Heat Lamp Bulb, Infrared Reptile Heat Emitter Heater Lamp Bulb for for Pet Brooder Coop Lizard Turtle Aquarium Snake (watts, 60)

I was happy to see the 60-watt option for these SIHIUT ceramic heat emitters, because my fixtures are not rated for 100 watts, and this two-pack seemed like a good value. If I’d had the rated fixtures, I’d have opted for the 100-watt models. We had some extremely cold nights recently, so I deployed each heat “lamp” near one of the cat beds, taking care to position them where physical contact was unlikely. I wish I’d tried these years ago, because they truly made a difference. I’d estimate that they added several degrees in the immediate close area. More importantly, the heat is radiant, so not simply heating the air. These heat emitters easily screwed in, just like ordinary light bulbs. After a few minutes they were hot to the touch, but not so much so as to damage the light socket, making them a simple but viable option for a variety of small animals, not just the cold-blooded variety. The animals do need to be relatively close, though, because these are not area heaters, just radiant elements.

I live in the country, my water source is a well. The well pit is outside, covered by a small building and during the winter months I like to keep a small amount of heat near the well pump. Up until now Ive used a light bulb, but I think this will be more durable in the long run.

I think this will make an excellent chick warmer lamp replacement! Just get used to the idea it may be hot. Very neat l!

These ceramic 100 watt heat lamps are similar quality and 1/4 the price of what I paid about 5 months ago from a GE brand. Even though the product page says you get one, I got a box of two. I like these because they will put out heat, but no light to disturb. These do not glow like a smooth top stove top. I use these in my chicken coop when we have cold spells. There are several ways to use these. You will need to exercise caution and mount these up high and away from any material that could catch fire, because these will get warm enough to catch bedding material on fire. You can use a socket adapter which is a lamp socket that plugs into an extension cord or wall plug. I use these in aluminum heat lamps that I hang from the ceiling plugged into an extension cord. In that way, these are away from my birds, yet they do help take the chill out. In the last chill down to around 8 degrees, two of these with another type 100 watt heater brought the temperature up in my 8’ X 4’ X 6’ insulated coop to about 25 degrees at floor level and 35 degrees up on their perch. Now that I know these work well, I will add electrical wiring in the ceiling to accomodate using three of these. The only difference between this brand, and my $44 brand is that the expensive brand has a red led power indicator that lights up when energized. I really like that these don’t put out light, don’t burn out quickly, and are a lot more durable than using light bulbs. The seller states that these heaters are expected to last around 10,000 hours. I love these.

Used this bulb to keep baby ducklings warm and it’s working great! I love that it doesn’t give off light, I have another lamp I use during the day and then I switch to this one at nighttime to keep the ducklings on a good cycle and rhythm. So far it’s working great and I’m loving the quality for the lower cost than traditional name brand lights. Highly recommend!

Worked fine and puts out a bunch of heat.

These ceramic heat bulbs are great for keeping my tortoise cage warm at night without emitting light. They get really hot so make sure they are cooled down awhile before removing the bulb from the lamp. Two come in a package. I e been using these for about a week and theyve been working well.

Works well and was easy to install.

The heat emitter works and it does expel heat, just not as much heat as I expected. over all its ok, I probably wouldnt but one again.

I have been running 2 Sihiut ceramic heat bulbs 24/7 for over 60 days now and have had zero issues with them. They heat the reptile tanks as advertised. I use the wider lamp for broader heat and the smaller, traditional reptile lamp for direct heat on a large, flat rock. Both keep the given areas between 78 and 83 degrees, without producing light. Like others, I was skeptical at first given the price compared to box store brands but I have been very happy with them.
