This Philips 175w Infrared Heat Bulb provides essential warmth for chicks during their early life stages. It is ideal for the first few weeks when chicks need extra heat. Once chicks are around 3-4 weeks old (a general guideline), it's recommended to switch to an Infrared Light Bulb, as it provides a gentler level of heat suitable for this stage.

Infrared (red light) lamps, unlike white light bulbs, won't disturb the chicks' sleep and can even help reduce pecking behaviour among chickens.

Features:

• Provides essential heat for chicks during the early weeks of life
• Switch to infrared light (red) after 3-4 weeks for a gentler, more suitable warmth
• Red light helps reduce disruption to chicks’ sleep and discourages pecking
• Suits E27 socket bulbs (screw type) for easy installation
