Paul@Ribchester Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) I use what I think is called a "pig lamp". It's got a redish bulb in it. Works really well. Edited November 7, 2011 by Paul@Ribchester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul T Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Ceramic bulbs (dull emitters) with a thermostat control in each of 8 individual catteries. My dogs have the luxury of the kitchen, but the cats all live outside . Same principle for heating though. Ceramic bulbs are great because they don't give off any light and don't disturb sleep. All bits bought off Fleabay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
