Porcelain Heat Lamp Fitting with Cord – Heat Globe Holder for Chicks, Reptiles & Pets

A Porcelain Heat Lamp Holder for Warmth Where It's Needed

This porcelain heat lamp fitting is a simple, reliable way to run a heat globe for animals that need extra warmth. Porcelain is used because it handles the high heat of infrared and ceramic heat globes far better than a standard plastic fitting, which makes it the right choice for heating applications. It comes on a 1.8m cord with a built-in on/off switch, so it is ready to plug in and use.

Made for Heat Globes

The porcelain socket is designed to take the heat that heat lamps and ceramic heat emitters produce, without the softening or failure you would risk from an unsuitable fitting. That makes it well suited to brooders, reptile enclosures and other setups where a heat globe runs for long periods. The maximum wattage for this fitting is 200W, so always use a globe rated at or below that.

Handy On/Off Switch and Cord

The 1.8m cord gives you room to position the fitting where the heat is needed, and the inline on/off switch means you can turn the heat on and off without unplugging at the wall. It is a small convenience that makes daily use easier, especially in a brooder or enclosure you are checking regularly.

Suits a Range of Animals

It is ideal for young chicks and ducklings, reptiles, and other young or small animals such as piglets and puppies that require a heat source. Paired with a suitable heat globe, it provides the warmth these animals need to stay healthy and comfortable.
