The Perfect Light Bulb

[joebryant]

I think that I just found the perfect light bulb to heat my two 4x8 coops. http://store.houseofpets.us/643854823441.html
Right now in minus 10*F outside temps, similar bulbs that are 60 watt are keeping the coops above 0*. I think 150 watt ones like in the URL will keep the temps above 15*F no matter what. I'm going to order two of them, but first I'm going to call the local pet store to be sure that I can't save shipping costs.

I have one that is 75 watts and is blue. Works good.

I just called my local Specks pet store, and they have the 150 watt black reptile light for $6.49. Gotta go; she's holding them for me.

Can someone tell me ? If im stranded in an unheated building over night and I have a heat bulb that brings the temp up to 0 degrees, am I a happier camper?
seems to me the only difference would be that it would take me 10 minutes rather than 5 to freeze to death.

Uh......you're not a chicken. Humans and chickens have a couple differences between them.

it is that cold here too- and I am tempted to bring all the girls in and set them up in my utility room...just because I am a wimp, and it would save me from having to go outside to care for them.

Somehow, even in the dead of winter, there are wild animals out there who are living without a building and without a heat bulb. Animals are built different than people. We are doing what we can to keep our pets as comfortable as possible.​

I guess it would depend on if I found you at the 5 minute or 10 minute mark..
