 Hot item!Feb 01, 2010
By Jaclyn Lipschitz
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.

Great HeatLamp! Make sure it is secured!Apr 07, 2011

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!

Very Durable, Long Lasting, and Best Heater Type For ReptileAug 10, 2005
By Nathan T.
"I'm Hard To Satisfy. That's Why My Opinion Counts The Most."
I have two, a 100 and 250 watt. I must say, these heat emitters are one of the best quality heaters I've seen. They live up to their long life expectation and is durable to last until it has no life left in it. What makes infrared heat emitters so good, especially for coldblooded reptiles is the fact that it heats them from the inside out instead of just heating the outside. Heating the outside first is mainly good for warmblooded like us is because it reduces the heat lost through our body from our cooler surfaces.
So the best kind of heat if you have a coldblooded animal like a lizard etc would be an infrared emitting device. Another good reason is that infrared doesn't release any light source. Some creatures are annoyed by the light.

Gotta love it!Jan 11, 2011
By feycooper
I love my CHE (ceramic heat emitter) the price may seem prohibitive but they last forever and are cheap to power!
Good Points:
-do not require very much electricity to run so are very cheap
-depending in the lamp fixture you use they can heat either a small basking area or a decent portion of a tank
Downside:
-they get really really hot (281 degrees F on the bulb)! be sure that they are very stable-ly rigged to or above your tank so that they cannot fall easily, as they could be a MAJOR FIRE HAZARD if they were to fall on fabric or some carpets
-make sure that the screen of your tank is not plastic mesh if it is do not put a lamp with this bulb directly on top, it will eventually melt
Please note: Try to minimize touching the bulb directly as the oil on your fingers will shorten the life of the bulb
As long as these are safely used they are fantastic and I cannot recommend them enough, they are so much more environmentally friendly then replacing heating light after heating light
