Newborn piglets, chicks, and lambs lose body heat fast. A hanging livestock heat lamp keeps the creep area warm without heating the whole barn. This farm heat lamp comes with a lamp holder, 1.8m switch cord, reflector shade, metal guard, and bulb. Choose red or white bulb, clear or frosted surface, and 150W, 200W, or 250W. Suitable for pig houses, chicken coops, lambing pens, calf sheds, and goat barns.
Product Overview
This livestock heat lamp is designed for local heating in pig houses, poultry farms, sheep pens, cattle sheds, and other agricultural buildings. It works as a piglet heat lamp, poultry heat lamp, chicken coop heat lamp, and brooder heat lamp.
The reflector shade pushes heat downward to the area where animals actually lie. The metal guard keeps animals from touching the hot bulb directly. The top hanging ring lets you raise or lower the lamp as animals grow.
The lamp comes with a black shade and stainless steel lamp pan, or a gold shade and white mesh pan. Bulb options include white or red, clear or frosted, and 150W, 200W, or 250W. The bulb is detachable and can be replaced separately.
The unit requires simple self-assembly after delivery. Contact customer service for wiring and assembly support.
Use restriction: For livestock and poultry farms only. Not for pet stores, pet cages, or pet houses.

Product Features
- Fast Local Heating: the reflector shade concentrates heat downward, so the creep area warms up quickly.
- Metal Guard: separates animals from the hot bulb, which matters in crowded pig pens and chick brooders.
- Thickened Tungsten Filament: built for longer service life in farm environments.
- Anti-Collision & Explosion-Proof Bulb: less likely to break from knocks or sudden temperature changes.
- 1.8m Cord with In-Line Switch: easy to control without reaching for the plug.
- Top Hanging Ring: adjust height as animals grow or as barn temperature changes.
- Detachable Bulb: replace the bulb without replacing the whole lamp.
- Energy-Saving Local Heating: warms a targeted area instead of the whole barn.
Configuration Options

What is the difference between black and gold shade?
The black shade with stainless steel pan is a classic farm choice. The gold shade with white mesh pan gives a slightly softer look. Both reflect heat downward in the same way.
What is the difference between clear and frosted bulb?
Clear bulbs give more concentrated light and heat. Frosted bulbs soften the light and spread heat more evenly. For focused local heating, clear is often used. For less glare, frosted is a good choice.
What is the difference between red and white bulb?
Red bulbs are often used at night because they produce less visible light. White bulbs give brighter light for observation and daily inspection.

How to choose:
If you need a simple, durable, and cost-effective local heating solution, choose the manual livestock heat lamp.
If you need precise temperature control, choose an automatic thermostat heat lamp system.
Farm Size & Capacity Reference
| Wattage | Recommended Use | Typical Farm Application |
|---|---|---|
| 150W | Small pens, well-insulated brooder rooms, mild weather | Small piglet pens, chick brooders, small lambing pens |
| 200W | General piglet pens, chicken coops, lambing pens, calf sheds | Medium pig houses, poultry farms, sheep pens, calf sheds |
| 250W | Larger spaces, lower temperatures, stronger local heat | Large pig houses, cold-climate barns, large calf sheds |
Adjust the hanging height based on animal size and barn temperature. If animals huddle together, they may be cold. If they move away from the lamp, they may be too hot.

Applications
1. Piglet Farrowing House Heating
Newborn piglets need a warm creep area. The reflective shade focuses warmth downward, helping create a local warm zone away from the sow.
2. Poultry Brooding & Chicken Coop Heating
Suitable for chick brooding, chicken coops, poultry farms, duck and goose brooding. Red or white bulbs can be selected based on farm preference.
3. Sheep & Lambing Pen Heating
Used in sheep pens and lambing barns for local warming of lambs and weak newborn animals.
4. Cattle & Calf Shed Heating
Suitable for calf sheds, cattle barns, and winter livestock houses that need local heating.
5. Goat & Winter Barn Heating
Can be used in goat sheds, barns, and other livestock buildings for winter warming and local heat supply.
Common Questions
For newborn piglets in a farrowing house, 150W to 200W is common for a small creep area. In colder barns or larger pens, 250W may be needed. The right choice depends on barn temperature, pen size, and hanging height. Watch the piglets: if they pile up under the lamp, they are cold; if they spread far away, they are too hot.
In the first week, hang the lamp about 45–60 cm above the litter. Chicks should be able to move freely between warm and cool areas. If they crowd directly under the lamp, lower it slightly. If they avoid the lamp area, raise it. Adjust as they grow and feathers come in.
Red bulbs produce less visible light than white bulbs. Many farms use red bulbs at night to reduce disturbance while still providing heat. Pigs can rest under red light with less disruption than bright white light. If you need to observe animals closely, use white bulbs during the day.
Bulb life depends on usage hours, voltage stability, and farm conditions. As a general guide, check the bulb regularly for darkening or flickering. Keep 1–2 spare bulbs per farm area. If you run lamps continuously, expect to replace bulbs more often. The 4-hour-on, 30-minute-rest pattern can help extend bulb life.
This lamp is designed for indoor farm use such as barns, sheds, and covered pens. It should not be exposed to direct rain or water. In open sheep pens, use it under a roof or sheltered area. Keep the lamp and cord away from wet bedding and standing water.
Yes. Calf sheds and hutches often need local heat in cold weather. Use 200W or 250W depending on shed size and outside temperature. Hang the lamp so the calf can lie in the warm zone but move away if it gets too warm.
Let the bulb cool completely before removing it. Wear gloves and dispose of broken glass safely. Replace with a new bulb of the same wattage and type. Do not use a bulb with a higher wattage than the lamp is designed for.
Yes. It is suitable for chicken coops and brooder areas. Make sure the lamp is securely hung and cannot swing into bedding or walls. Keep it away from curtains, straw, and other flammable materials.
