Premier 1 “Prima” Heat Lamp®

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.

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’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.

after years of the aluminum kind breaking burning up the bulb into the socket, falling apart. trying to keep the clip on. I threw them all away and will never buy them again after seeing and working with this one. It is awesome, heavy duty, the bulb protector screws on securely gives off good heat has a nice sturdy hook thing that I put a carabiner in to hold it and it stays put no matter if the chickens or I hit it. Really a good product. It costs more than the ones at the farm store but are well worth it.

feel like it's very safe. it keeps my kitties toasty

I think doesn't direct heat like most cans with metal backing. still warm and is durable so hanging it lower is an option.

We use it for puppies. The durability is awesome! Size is a little big but not bad. It’s worth every Penny so I wouldn’t recommend this more so than the cheap ones.

Very safe choice to use for stray cat in my cold garage. I found it on You Tube and looked it up on Amazon. Cat uses it when it needs extra warmth. It hangs from a 6 foot ladder over a blanketed lawn chair, while another bed has a heat mat for it to choose from when less warmth is needed. I use a 250 watt infrared bulb recommended by this co.
