It fits a screw-type holder, which makes it easy to install, and one lamp heats up to 100 chicks from 1 to 21 days old. It suits poultry farmers and backyard keepers who brood chicks in smaller groups or want flexible heat spots across a brooding area.<\/p>\n<h3>Key features<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>175 W electric infrared globe<\/li>\n<li>Screw-type holder for easy installation<\/li>\n<li>One unit per 100 birds<\/li>\n<li>For chicks from 1 to 21 days old<\/li>\n<li>Install 60 cm from the ground and 1 metre apart<\/li>\n<li>Infra-red fitting available as a spare part (636963)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Choosing the right one<\/h3>\n<p>Count one 175 W lamp for every 100 chicks, so 300 chicks need three lamps, and round up for any part group. Hang lamps 60 cm from the ground and 1 metre apart as recommended, and make sure the holders and wiring are rated for heat lamps. Watch the chicks once the lamps are on: tight huddling directly under the lamp usually means they are cold, while chicks moving well away from the heat may be too hot. Keep a spare globe on hand during brooding so a failed lamp can be replaced quickly.<\/p>\n<h3>Specifications<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand<\/th>\n<td>Philips<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>SKU \/ model<\/th>\n<td>636962<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Power<\/th>\n<td>175 W<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Application<\/th>\n<td>From 1 to 21 day old chicks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Heating capacity<\/th>\n<td>100 chicks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Installation<\/th>\n<td>60 cm from ground and 1 metre apart<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Spare part<\/th>\n<td>Infra-red fitting: 636963<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Common questions<\/h3>\n<details>\n<summary>How many chicks does one lamp heat?<\/summary>\n<p>One 175 W infrared lamp has a heating capacity of 100 chicks.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How high should the lamp hang?<\/summary>\n<p>Install it 60 cm from the ground, with lamps spaced 1 metre apart.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Which fitting does it use?<\/summary>\n<p>It has a screw-type holder.
