Review on πŸ”₯ Ceramic Heat Emitter 100 Watt - No Light Emission - 2 Pack: Ideal Reptile Heat Lamp for Pet Coops, Terrariums, Brooders, and Aquariums by Laura Walters

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Is working. You get hot.

I bought these for use in the greenhouse on cold nights. At night with snow it was about 20 degrees F and they kept it in the middle of 30 degrees about 6 feet away and much warmer closer, about 45-50 degrees F, put an infrared thermometer on it and it got to 500+ degrees Fahrenheit. of stains. Unfortunately, without a fan, it doesn't dissipate that heat well and doesn't heat the air around it to that temperature at all. You can feel heat from less than a foot away. To do this, I used outdoor wet lighting spots with grounding pins attached ($5 at low prices). All of them are metal with a heat resistant ceramic base. I removed the rubber lip around the bushing because it might melt. This can make the greenhouse less weatherproof in a humid location, but the greenhouse is mostly humid and sheltered from rain. The plastic bulb socket also melts. So get ceramic rosettes and metal surrounds, whether you use it for a greenhouse or for a pet, because the surface temperature is very high. They were a little smaller than expected, measuring 4-5 inches at their widest point. I was hoping for 6-8 but that's ok.

Pros
  • Hard wearing surface
Cons
  • Some imperfections
