Westinghouse 250-Watt Infrared Heat Lamp Bulb

Westinghouse R40 Infrared Heat Light Bulbs are a great way to produce heat for your little animals, like chicks, baby pigs, or other small farm animals that can’t yet regulate their body heat and need the extra heat to stay healthy and keep growing well. These heat light bulbs can also be used in bathrooms or in basements to provide a little extra heat while still providing light. Incandescent lights are usually deemed inefficient because energy is lost as heat, but when utilizing this feature of the light bulb, it is extremely efficient. Clear and red finishes as well as different wattages allow you the freedom to choose the light bulb that will work best for you. They have medium screw bases that are compatible with brooder lamps and with standard household fixtures including bathroom heat lamps.

This bulb lasts up to an average of 5,000 hours, and it has a non-stick coated base to prevent corrosion of sockets. The R40 shape of the bulbs gives it a reflective covering on the inside to direct the light and heat forwards. The red finish provides a darker color light that doesn’t glare in your animals’ eyes as they receive the heat.

These light bulbs operate at extremely high temperatures, so it is important to use only in fixtures that are equipped to reduce the risk of malfunction or fire. Keep the heat bulbs a safe distance away from your animals to avoid the danger of overheating or burning themselves from accidental contact with the bulb.
