Ratings & Reviews for GE Heat Lamp 250 -Watt EQ R40 Red Medium screw base E26 Dimmable Incandescent Specialty Light Bulb

Citrus greenhouse heatlamps.

i use these heat lamps in my greenhouse to protect my citrus trees each winter, and usually have to replace one to all four each year.

works well

Works well used it in my bathroom to help get rid of some moisture. It works very well, just be careful. When you touch the bull bit it is extremely hot

Heating lamp for outside dog

It does a good job dog seem to stay warm

Heat bulb

I love that they are still available. With today's technology it's getting harder just to find a simple incandescent heat bulb. These work very well for my need here in Alaska.

Good value for $, not the level of heat expected

They work, perfect fit. Unfortunately- they don’t put out the heat like the 20 year Philips lamps we have that are still working.

bad right out of the box

bought one to replace a blown bulb in my chicken coop, as soon as I opened the box, the filament was broken. Went to buy another one and all three that I looked at before buying had broken filaments as well. These bulbs used to be tough and last at least a winter season, but most of them blow out within a few days, maybe a week at the most

Something has changed

We have used these bulbs in the past with success. However, the four that we recently purchased are a different shape and a slightly different color than the one we bought last year. The shape isn’t the problem, the complete lack of heat is. They simply don’t put out heat. Two lamps will heat an overlapped point to about 90°.

GE 250W infrared light incandescent bulb

We used this real infrared incandescent light bulb to help heal my daughter's traumatized toenail. She uses it three times a week on her toenail that has a crack in it. The warmth and infrared wavelength light is healthful and increases the blood circulation in her toes to accelerate healing as toenails take a long time to heal and rejuvenate. She uses it for 20 minutes at a time with the light being around 12-18" away. We recommend this lightbulb, however, incandescent uses a lot of energy.

Keeps small animals warm.

I have small stray cats that have a mylar lined shelter. I keep this lamp on for about 45 minutes at a time, then off for about 15 minutes, over the course of the day during winter. They love it. Works great with one of those mechanical timers.

Provides heat and allows poultry to sleep at night
