    Keeps chicks warm. Safe and easy to use. A brilliant little brooder. The NEW Brinsea EcoGlow Safety 600 Chick Brooder is an efficient and safe way of keeping newly hatched poultry, game and waterfowl warm. Suitable for max ± 15-20 day old chicks. The EcoGlow Safety 600 is ideal for keeping newly hatched poultry, game and waterfowl warm for the crucial first days and weeks. The low voltage heater panel warms the chicks directly by contact.

    Premium quality. Top brand. An excellent source of heat for newly hatched chicks.Unlike other light bulbs, ceramic heat emitters generate only ceramic radiant heat — not light. This not only saves energy but also prevents keeping your animals awake at night, simulating a natural cycle and promoting greater health, growth and vitality. Because no energy is wasted as light, they are much warmer than a standard 100W light globe and give off intense radiant heat very quickly — perfect for raising young chicks, pheasant and ducklings. Ceramic heat emitters also last much longer than conventional bulbs, with a lifespan of up to 10,000 hours if used correctly. Suitable as a constant heat source for both poultry and terrariums. Protect against water splashes and knocks. Available in 100W, 150W and 250W. IMPORTANT: Use only in ceramic bulb holders. Elstein-Werk founded and patented the infrared ceramic heat emitter. These are the emitters we use at Appletons and sell in our Appletons Brooder Starter Packages and Radiant Heat Lamp Sets. Please check all your orders on receipt.

    Glass infrared bulbs by Interheat. Twin pack. Providing your newly hatched chicks with the right heat can make all the difference.If the preferred option for brooding chicks is a hanging lamp, then heat emitters and infra-red lamps are a good choice.It is well known that prolonged light can disrupt growth rates and damage the eyes of developing chicks as well as causing restlessness, which can lead to pecking issues. If your preferred option is to have some light available, these high-quality 250-watt tempered (hardened) glass Infra-Red lamps emit a gentle red glow, which is proven to be less damaging to eyes than prolonged exposure to white light.Note: These heat lamps produce an intense heat; therefore, it is important a good-quality ceramic lamp holder is used at all times. Suitable to use in the heavy-duty heat lamp set or in ceramic bulb holders. For those that prefer no light (and no glass), we recommend the ceramic heat emitters. These do a fantastic job of radiating heat and giving the chicks the most natural way of growing. ℹ️ Learn more Raising Chicks Guide | Appletons - everything you need to know about raising chicks Blog: Appletons Guide to Raising Your Own Chicks - our step-by-step chick raising guide Shop Ceramic Heat Emitter | Elstein - no-light alternative for natural chick raising Shop Heavy-Duty Heat Lamp 300mm | Interheat - compatible lamp shade

The aluminium reflector offers a sense of protection for the chicks and will reduce unnecessary heat loss. We do not recommend using a heat emitter in a lamp holder without a reflector, as the heat will all rise — remember, hot air rises!We have two sizes available.
