Brooder Lamp Beeping?

Yea I think it was the smoke detector. The lamp was not near it so I don't know why it went off. Its a first alert sealed battery model. Well within its battery life. I had no smoke and no smell of anything from the heat lamp.

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

I'm fairly certain its the producers pride 250 watt red heat bulb from TS as well.

I'm fairly certain now it was the smoke detector just don't why it went off. Inspecting the heat lamp, I saw nothing indicating there was a heat alarm. Just coincidental the beeping stopped when I grabbed the lamp I guess.

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

i use a flat panel from tractor supply its so much safer. it can be used as a brooder so the chicks can get under it or it can stand upright and they like next to it. it doesnt fall over or anything.
