SIHIUT Ceramic Heat Emitter, 60W Ceramic Heat Lamp Bulb, Infrared Reptile Heat Emitter Heater Lamp Bulb for for Pet Brooder Coop Lizard Turtle Aquarium Snake (watts, 60)

This is like most of the other ceramic heaters on the market. I purchased the 100w version, and it seems to be exactly that. I do like the warranty that comes with this heater, 3000 hours of service which for us at 8 hours a day is a little over a year that it would be under warranty. It also says it has a lifetime of 10,000 hours, and I dont recall our other ceramic heaters stating a lifetime, but 10,000 hours seems pretty good!

I got these mostly to use to keep a troublesome spot in my 100+ yr old Houses waterline from freezing. I have to open up a spot under my kitchen sink to the water inlet in the crawlspace. Ive boxed it off and insulated but, when we get subzero temps its not enough. We havent actually had a cold snap since I got them but, I did test them to make sure they work. I like that they are much smaller than the heat bulbs Ive used in the past. I received two in the pkg so, I have a backup. Im ready for the sub zero temps now if we get another arctic blast. I broke last years bulb because I didnt store it well. These come securely pkged and I will be sure to save it when I close everything back up for the summer.

It always bothered me to have to put a light bulb out to keep the cat warm on a cold night in the barn. Who, even a cat, wants to sleep with a light in your face? This ceramic heat emitter is great in that it provides the heat of a light bulb with none of the light. Screws into a standard light socket and warms the cats bed area nicely. The heat is steady and should work nicely for the reptiles as well.

Worked fine and puts out a bunch of heat.

I ordered the 60-watt ceramic heat emitter to provide a warm corner for several small, elderly cage birds. It takes about 20 minutes or so to come up to full temperature, then holds steady for as long as I have it on. It kept the area it was focused on at about 80 degrees, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Currently I am using a brooder wire grill lamp with a ceramic base. It allows some of the heat to radiate into the surrounding area, keeping the cage a few degrees warmer than the room temperature. Because birds need a consistent schedule of day and night, the fact that I can provide warmth without the light is perfect. I have only just started using the emitter, so can’t say how long it will last. As of now, I am very pleased with my choice.

Got the 60W for my young ball python in a 20 long to keep temperature an even comfortable temperature day and night. These are great for that because they only give off heat and no actual light. Have had no issues with it keeping temperature like it should even after prolonged use.

My bulbs do exactly what is stated in the descriptions, the only thing that I cannot speak on is the longevity of the bulbs. Once this bulb dies or loses its heat retention, then Ill update the review on this item.

Nice black color blends into the reptile cage I have. It takes a couple minutes to get to temp but it stays consistently warm afterwards. Will definitely get more when I need them.

I was happy to see the 60-watt option for these SIHIUT ceramic heat emitters, because my fixtures are not rated for 100 watts, and this two-pack seemed like a good value. If I’d had the rated fixtures, I’d have opted for the 100-watt models. We had some extremely cold nights recently, so I deployed each heat “lamp” near one of the cat beds, taking care to position them where physical contact was unlikely. I wish I’d tried these years ago, because they truly made a difference. I’d estimate that they added several degrees in the immediate close area. More importantly, the heat is radiant, so not simply heating the air. These heat emitters easily screwed in, just like ordinary light bulbs. After a few minutes they were hot to the touch, but not so much so as to damage the light socket, making them a simple but viable option for a variety of small animals, not just the cold-blooded variety. The animals do need to be relatively close, though, because these are not area heaters, just radiant elements.

I live in the country, my water source is a well. The well pit is outside, covered by a small building and during the winter months I like to keep a small amount of heat near the well pump. Up until now Ive used a light bulb, but I think this will be more durable in the long run.
