Bay heat

[uncle ned]

How am I going to heat my bay now that our government has stopped us from getting 100  and 60 watt light bulbs.

Tried the new low energy bulbs and they will not come on at the winter temp in my barn.

I'm so glad the government is looking out for me.  NOOOOOOOOT!

Was at lowes this weekend and picked up the last 4 boxes of 100 watt bulbs the had....George

  Will they make the heat lamps, 75w or 150w?? For farm animals and baby chicks?

You still have halogen lights that put out plenty of heat. I use a 500watt halogen light under my oil pan over night to start it the next day when it is cold. Good Luck, TomC

I don't know now recently the ban on 100w bulbs etc came in over there but when it happened here it wasn't long before apparently identical (but supposedly 'heavy duty') 100w bulbs with 'not for domestic use' printed on the box became available in the shops.

I already switched to 100W halogens for keeping my water bay from freezing. They seem to put out a lot of heat. Got down into the teens last night and I still had running water this morning. I'll throw the DW's hair dryer down there too if I hear that it's going to get into single digits. I just don't like hearing that whine all night coming up through the floor, LOL

 A company in the south is producing bulbs that use a loophole in the law by certifying them as "shop lights". They have seven filiments and thicker glass, they are flying off the shelves.>>>Dan (NEWCONDESCENT IS THE NAME)

How about infra-red food-warming lamps, like fast-"food" places use:  http://www.centralrestaurant.com/Heat+Lamps-pl372.html   Even a traditional incandescent lamp is essentially a heater that just happens to also give off some light.

I wouldn't advise using a hair dryer unattended in a luggage bay  -  two of my GF's dryers have spectacularly failed while she was using them, complete with sparks and smoke and exciting crackling sounds.   Actually I wouldn't leave unattended anything electrical that is Made In China.

Yes John, but how was she using them?

I have a very quiet computer fan that blows cabin air through a 4" hole in the floor, back by the water heater.  Has been good down to 10 degrees.  85 cfm.

On one occasion some cat hair got sucked into it (don't ask . . .), but the other time was the inevitable state of entropy that all Chinese things revert to.

I mounted my Proheat in my tank bay and it keeps the bay between 50 and 60 degrees on

real cold snaps. Only down fall, fresh water goes up to about 70 degrees on milder days..

A small cube heater set to the low (750 watt) setting is doing the trick for us...and it hit -12 F last night with 35 mph winds.
