Philips infrared lamp

Philips infrared lamp, 240 Volt operation, 600 W / m² at a height of 60 cm, wider irradiation surface thanks to the double reflector, stable thanks to the screw connection cemented between glass and metal base, resistant to splashes of water. Useful for heating newborn chicks, piglets and puppies.

Infrared lamps: the advantages and what they are

If you want animals to thrive and reduce the risk of premature death, three things are necessary: good nutrition, suitable accommodation and an adequate level of heat. Warming young animals has several advantages, especially if infrared lamps are used. Anyone who has adopted this method of heating will be able to confirm it.

* Infrared lamps have a long life when vibrations are minimized.

* The air is not heated and therefore there is no heat loss.

* The price of the lamps is low and they are easy to install.

* They do not cause atmospheric pollution.

* They do not increase the atmospheric humidity.

* Instantly emit uniform heat directly on animals.

* They are compact and have a small footprint.

* Easy maintenance and replacement.

* They have a very high energy efficiency, since they radiate heat precisely on the area in which it is required, minimizing dispersion.

What are infrared rays?

The sun derives its energy from the infrared rays contained in its core. Unlike UV rays, infrared rays are beneficial to the health of the individual. Infrared rays have nothing to do with ultraviolet rays which cause burns and damage to the skin. Infrared waves are a form of energy that can heat objects without simultaneously heating the surrounding air. Infrared thermal radiation has been used for many years in the field of therapy and medicine and can be classified as an absolutely reliable and safe method. Infrared rays are part of the spectrum of light rays emitted by the sun. This type of light, however, is not visible to human eyes, but acts by emitting heat. Therefore infrared rays are positive rays, responsible for human perception of heat and are not comparable to UV rays, X rays or microwaves.

Extend the life of your lamps, follow these tips:

* Minimize vibrations when the lamp is on, less vibration longer life.

* Never screw the lamp fully into the ceramic lamp holder.

* If the lamp goes out, allow it to cool down without moving it for at least 15 minutes.

* Avoid splashing water.

* Make sure that the lamp holder or reflector cannot be reached by animals.

* Avoid sudden changes in voltage and / or current.

* Install a voltage stabilizer.
