500w/800w/1200w/1500w carbon fiber heat lamp for poultry chick

May 11, 2026

Power and Output, Plain and Simple

We built these carbon fiber heat lamps in 500W, 800W, 1200W, and 1500W because your brooding setup isn’t one-size-fits-all. Pick the wattage that matches your thermal needs. Go higher, and you get quicker warm-up and more coverage—so you can heat a larger area with a single lamp. The carbon filament throws a broad infrared spectrum, warming chicks and bedding right where it matters. No wasted energy heating the air. The result? A steady floor temperature that chicks need in those first critical days.

What It’s Made Of—and Why It Matters

Inside, the carbon filament sits in a quartz envelope. We chose quartz because it handles sudden temperature swings without blinking and keeps output consistent. The body is carbon fiber composite, so it’s lighter than a ceramic body and way tougher. It can take the knocks and vibrations of farm life without cracking. And the R7s base? It locks in securely, gives a low-resistance connection, and makes the lamp a simple drop-in swap for what you already have.

Real-World Use—Built for the Long Haul

Brooding means long run hours, and reliability isn’t optional. The carbon fiber build helps keep resistance stable over time, so you’re not constantly chasing performance dips. Infrared heat targets the chicks, not the air around them. You get even warmth across the pen, fewer maintenance interruptions, and an install that’s straightforward—no fuss. **One thing to keep in mind:**the 1500W model runs hot, intentionally. Make sure your fixture and wiring are rated for continuous duty, and give the space some airflow to keep ambient temps in check.
