Brooder Lamp Beeping?

[Tacswa3]

I have a basic brooder lamp with the big red bulb. Its all I use and this one is fairly new. Just had it beep a few times which I have never heard from these type of lamps. I raised it some so it wasn't as close to the chicks. I've never even seen it advertised that they beep as a heat warning? Anyone else know about these?

Yeah there's nothing in that lamp that should be beeping. Reason I asked if it sounds like a detector beeping is because heat lamps can run so hot I could almost see it tripping a smoke or CO2 unit.

When I found it was the source of the beep, as I grabbed it and lifted it up, it stopped beeping

What bulb are you using?
I assume it's specifically for poultry too?

Not sure what to suggest. Obviously don't want to disable a smoke detector! Some are just super sensitive.

I had the lamp a little closer than normal because the new ducklings were born during the tropical storm we had and they were wet and cold. Maybe a little dust on the lamp or a pine shaving got to warm?? I don't know, like I said no smoke or smell

If a little dust gets on the 250w bulbs, the dust burns off and creates a smell especially if they have been sitting for awhile or by using a dimmer to turn the bulb up and down. I can smell the dust burning myself and I can see the fire alarm detecting it. Maybe you can't smell it for some reason.

Are you sure it's the lamp and not something like a smoke/CO2 detector?

That's what I was wondering.
Is lamp brand new?
Sometimes manufacturing materials burn off at first.

Not brand new. Lightly used and recently pulled it out of a small vacant coop I use as a brooder. There is light dust on the hood. Since I've raised up of the ducklings a bit, the detector hasn't gone off
