    I initially bought a Zoo-med infrared 150 watts heat lamp in order to heat up silicone rubber molds to cast clear resin parts. You can surely feel the heat from the bulb…if you’re close up to it, like 6 inches. The further away then the more noticeable the heat difference. It probably does a good job for warming reptile pets, but not for what I wanted.
    After reviewing several other heat bulbs I chose this one, although it had no reviews at the time and have to say I am really glad I did.
    The seller wrapped the inside and outside of the bulb package in bubble wrap. I screwed her in, turned her on and I could instantly feel a great amount of heat coming from the lamp, even as far as a foot and a half away.
    To check out her heating abilities I placed an old credit card under the lamp about a foot away and within 3 minutes the card started to warp!
    Used this lamp to heat up my rubber molds and it does an excellent job. It doesn’t just heat the surface, this is good penetrating heat I can feel throughout the mold.
    The light is not very bright, it is quite subdued which I expected for a red bulb. I used the Zoo-Med heat lamp with a dimmer http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-Deluxe-Dimmable-8-5-Inch/dp/B000FTEQCY/ref=pd_sim_hi_6. The description says it is only rated for a maximum of 200 watts but I have not had any problems. Just to be safe I never leave it on if I won’t be around :-) . Rated at 5000 hours and using it an average of 1-2 hours per mold session I feel I got a great deal here. If you need a heat bulb for heating anything, even with shipping this is still the best deal around.

    I bought this for at home heat therapy and it is Very warm.
    The last bulb I had was only 150 watts and I would do 15 minute sessions.
    With this 250 watt bulb I only need to do 5 to 8 minute sessions.
    I’m not saying that a higher wattage bulb is necessary, but it has helped me.
    The cost here on amazon (I used Lamps Plus) is also at least half the price
    compared to the alternative health store I went to previously.

    Will definitely purchase this bulb again.

    Using for heating in a small chicken coop. Seems to work exectly as intended. Not cooking the hens, and keeping them warm on 20 degree nights so far (using with a thermostat)…
