BROODING BULB - Ceramic

ksh400.00 ksh500.00

CERAMIC BROODING BULBS are a safe and efficient way to provide warmth to young chicks. They are constructed from ceramic materials that can withstand high temperatures without emitting light. This unique feature makes them ideal for providing a continuous source of heat without disturbing the chick's sleep patterns.

Advantages:
- Long Lifespan: Typically lasts between 10,000 and 20,000 hours.
- Heat Efficiency: Provides consistent heat without light, reducing disruption to natural sleep patterns.
- Durability: Ceramic material is durable and less likely to burn out or break compared to glass bulbs.
- Safety: Unlike traditional heat lamps, ceramic bulbs do not emit light, reducing the risk of stressing or disturbing the chicks during their resting hours. Moreover, they are less likely to cause fires, making them a safer option for brooding.

2. Using Ceramic Brooding Bulbs Effectively

Selecting the Right Wattage: Choose the appropriate wattage of the ceramic bulb based on the size of your brooder and the number of chicks. Generally, a 250-watt bulb is suitable for a small brooder with 25-30 chicks.

3. Maintaining Temperature: Hang the bulb at an appropriate height to maintain the desired temperature in the brooding area. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature and adjust the height of the bulb as needed.

4. Proper Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in the brooding area to maintain air quality. Fresh air is essential for the health of the chicks.

5. Regular Inspections: Inspect the ceramic bulb and its fixtures regularly to ensure they are in good working condition. Replace any damaged components promptly.

A ceramic brooding bulb is a type of heat lamp designed specifically for maintaining warmth in a brooder, where young chicks or other poultry are raised. Here’s a breakdown of what it is:

Material: Made from heat-resistant ceramic, which can withstand high temperatures without degrading. This material helps ensure the bulb’s durability and longevity under continuous use.
Function: It emits infrared heat, providing a consistent and gentle source of warmth to the brooding area. Unlike traditional incandescent bulbs, it does not produce visible light, which helps maintain a natural day-night cycle for the chicks.
Applications:
- Poultry Brooding: Keeps chicks warm in the brooder by mimicking the heat they would receive from a mother hen.
- Reptile Enclosures: Often used in terrariums to provide heat for reptiles.
Advantages:
- Long Lifespan: Typically lasts between 10,000 and 20,000 hours.
- Heat Efficiency: Provides consistent heat without light, reducing disruption to natural sleep patterns.
- Durability: Ceramic material is durable and less likely to burn out or break compared to glass bulbs.
