Yes, thanks. The bulbs that I bought stats they are waterproof and explosion proof. There were two to the package. I will see how well they heat prior to the new babies arrivals to see if I need to go get a 2nd lamp. Thanks again for your input!Oh, also be careful when using a heat bulb. Ducklings can drink, then sling water. Water on a hot heat bulb= busted heat bulb. Always a risk of fire, glass and ducks w/o heat. Ceramic heat bulbs are an option, but seems like they only warm directly underneath, in which case you may need more than one for 16 ducklings. You will need to experiment with the thermometer at different locations in your "box".
Hope this helps.
