Agri Health Wide Shade Infrared Heat Lamp Assembly
Description
Agri Health Wide Shade Infrared Heat Lamp Assembly
The Agri Health Infrared Heat Lamp Assembly is a mains heat lamp unit with a wide aluminium shade, a dimmer switch, a 2m cable and a hanging chain, designed to take 175W or 250W infrared bulbs. It is best for farmers, smallholders and yard owners heating larger pens and group housing, where the wider shade spreads warmth more evenly and reduces hotspots compared with a standard narrow reflector.
Typical uses include piglet creeps, lambing pens, poultry brooding areas, calf pens and whelping boxes. The dimmer allows the heat to be wound down as stock grow or as the weather warms, which also helps control running costs over a long rearing season.

How to Use
- Fit a 175W or 250W infrared bulb into the holder with the unit unplugged and cool.
- Suspend the lamp from the chain provided, fixed to a secure overhead point. Never hang it by the cable.
- Set the height so the warm area covers the pen without the lamp being within reach of stock or close to bedding.
- Plug in, switch on and set the dimmer to the level required for the age and number of animals.
- Check the temperature at bedding level and adjust the dimmer or height until the animals lie spread out rather than huddled or scattered to the edges.
- Inspect the cable, fitting and shade regularly, clear any dust build-up when cool, and replace damaged parts before further use.
