Carbon Fiber Heaters
Product Details
High-output heater for lambing pens, chicken coops or horse stables. Not recommended for use in chick brooders.
Due to their high heat output, Carbon Fiber Heaters should be hung higher than heat lamps. This allows heat to disperse over a large area and prevents hot spots. Available in 600 or 1200 watt configurations. (Bulbs and lamps are not interchangeable.)
Built-in “kill switch” turns the unit off if an unsafe angle (30°) occurs. So if it falls or is smashed, the heater is immediately disabled. Protects your buildings, livestock, poultry and pets.
Carbon fiber bulbs have a very long life and are efficient—98% of watts become heat.
Instructions/Diagrams:
Specs
- Safety “kill switch” turns the unit off if an unsafe angle (greater than 30°) is reached
- Carbon fiber bulbs produce 4–6 times more heat than conventional bulbs

Tips
Precautions
- 600W heater use 600W bulb (#557302)
- 1200W heater use 1200W bulb (#557304)
When installing new bulbs, be sure to handle the bulb with a cloth or covering. This prevents oil transfer from your hands to the bulb, which reduces its usable life.
Due to the high heat output of these units, we recommend placing them higher (further away from the ground or animals) than conventional heat lamps. This will allow the heat to disperse over a larger area and prevents “hot-spots” from forming. Do NOT allow birds/animals direct access to any heater or heat lamp.
Do NOT enclose in barrels or other similar enclosed locations. They heat must be able to move away from the heating unit.
We don’t recommend using an extension cord in situations where it can be avoided. If you do, you MUST use a heavy-duty outdoor extension cord that is rated for a minimum of 10 amps (1200 watts) continuous draw.
Warning: Risk of electrical shock—Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.

Great product but bad luck. Both bulbs we purchased either broke or burned out within 1 day of being installed. Such is life.
I would recommend it because they will last a long time if your luck holds.

Don’t waste your money! Buy more heat lamps instead. These do NOT put off much heat, so disappointed. I purchased two 1200W units, for the amout of energy they take, you would be better off running a couple 250 watt heat lamps instead. I had to change out the first bulb today after about 100 hours of use. A bulb should last way longer then 100 hours. Overpriced China junk.

I am really disappointed in this heater. I had to call the company to make sure I was using it correctly and it wasn’t defective. I bought the 600W heater because the description made it sound like these are really strong and that the 1200W one would burn my barn down. The reality is, it throws SIGNIFICANTLY less heat than the description would have you believe. I wish I had gone with the 1200W but I would not purchase this again. This is my first purchase from Premier 1 and this experience makes me question other purchases going forward and whether or not I can trust what they say in product descriptions.

I’ve had to replace the bulb in this lamp almost every season and the on/off switch is not easily reached once the lamp has been hung. This makes it difficult to determine whether the lamp is on or off. I couldn’t get it to work this winter so switched to a traditional heat lamp just to be sure my flock was staying warm. Overall, not worth the cost.

We had goat kids due when overnight lows were -30° and I was worried about the kids finding enough space under our Prima heat lamps (which have always done more than enough). This carbon fiber heater kept the kidding stalls warm enough that the kids did wonderfully.
