Premier 1 “Prima” Heat Lamp®

UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: I am so very upset, and I wanted to update my original review as now I DO have a huge negative to mention!! Even though nervous about having ANY heat lamp in my pig boys' house, I chose this brand/style, after considerable research, because of the information concerning construction of, quality of materials, and so many positive reviews. I am now seeing negative reviews, and I share in their disappointment. I keep a constant watch over my pot belly boys (cameras in their house), mainly because of heat lamp concern. While cleaning up this morning, and examining the lights, I came across burned marks in not just one lamp, but both. One of the reasons I purchased this brand was because it takes a bit of heat to keep their size house (8'x10' building) a comfortable temp, during the frigid weather we just experienced across the nation. As usual, though, the lamps are only running overnight, as the boys are up and active most of the day. I am so angry to find this happening, even though they are advertised as "safe" up to a 250watt bulb, which is what I have in both. I no longer recommend this light, but DO recommend being very vigilant in keeping a close eye on wherever you have yours placed. I feel horrible that I recommended this lamp to close friends, and they purchased them! I can't find anything negative to say about these heat lamps. I had been using the metal type heat lamps from my pig boys' house, and I worried constantly they might burn themselves, or worse, they would become overheated, and cause a fire. These are fantastic. I made sure to hang them within a decent distance above where the boys sleep, and, when I received them, I ran them all day. By that evening, the bed area was comfortably warm, and best of all, the "safety shield" piece wasn't the least bit hot, just warm. The exterior of the light stays just warm (not hot like the metal ones did), so no worries of the boys getting burned, OR, best yet, no fear of overheating and starting a fire. I am using 175 watt bulbs in each one, and between the two lamps, the boys stay comfortable. It's been below 30 degrees the past couple nights, and with the two lights, the building, an 8'x10' wooden shed with a high ceiling, stays a comfortable 50 degrees. As someone who constantly worried about the safety of my outdoor animals staying comfortable and safe, I HIGHLY recommend these lights!

I use this in my chicken house. Keeps them warm on cold nights in Arkansas. Love protective mask. I don’t have to worry about it falling then direct heat starts a fire. The mask is removable for replacement of heat bulb. It an easy twist of then locks into place. Safe, quality materials, functionality.

Great product. Fast shipping

I am a new chicken mom. This is our first winter with them. I have heard pros and cons to heating your coop. I was skeptical to get a lamp because of all of the fire stories I have seen. I came across this lamp and was impressed by all the reviews and the fact that it turns off if it’s on its side or falls. I sleep much better at night knowing my ladies are safe and warm. I highly recommend this.

These are the best for heat lamps. We have a huge barn and a lot of babies. These are safer than the usual heat lamps.

This is a very good heat lamp. They don’t get near as hot as the old style tin lamp, but these are 10 times safer

I’m very nervous about putting a heat source in our chicken coop, but this lamp doesn’t get super hot, even on the upper light casing. I feel comfortable that this lamp is very low risk. Doesn’t throw a lot of heat, but the hens can roost directly beneath it and take the chill off.

These are great lamps. Nice size.They would be ideal for chicken coups.
