Please Note: We strongly recommend hanging brooder lamps from a stationary source rather than clamping the brooder lamp to a source. Hanging the lamp will minimize the opportunity for the lamp to fall or get knocked over and come in contact with any of the brooder surroundings. Brooder lamps and bulbs can be used for heat sources. As with any heat source, proper and constant monitoring of the heat source is highly recommended. Any heat source that can not be monitored should be unplugged.
