will this lamp work in dog house safely?

Yes, it should help significantly, but I would make sure that water can't get to it. A metal globe/shield around the socket would be advisable and make sure it is high enough the dog's back or head won't hit it. A better way to heat your dog house might be a heat mat, like used by green houses to heat seed trays. Again be that plugs are protected from water, such as a dog shaking the water out of his/her coat! You'd be surprised at how much water a dog can shake off! If you use the mat, make sure to put a barrier to keep it away from your dog's teeth, so they won't chew it. I suggest using a piece of cement backer board you can get at Lowe's or Home Depot, and a masonry cutting blade for your circular saw to cut it. Cut the backer board to fit inside your dog's house and place it on top of the heat mat, then put bedding on top if the backer board. It will keep him/her nice and warm. You can even put a thermostat in there to keep it from getting too warm. Most heat matts can reach temps of 100 degrees, which won't burn the dog, but may make it too warm to sleep on! Hope this helps. Again the lamp will work, but be sure it is protected from any water exposure, as it could be dangerous to your dog, if close enough to touch, beside throwing a breaker and destroying the lamp (ceramic heat element).

I would very carefull using this.Make sure its up high enough that the dog will not come in contact with it as it gets very hot.Also wire it good so that it does not fall and cause a fire.Be careful of water coming into contact with it to.The heat light itself should only be used in a ceramic not plastic lamp.you can buy shop light lamps but they are plastic where you screw it in and they are not as safe.A 150 watt throws off a lot of heat so keep that in mind.I use these in my coops and take all these precautions myself

This lamp does not have an all weather enclosure, but if you place it in a protected area, it should be fine outdoors. You will need the proper socket for it to work.

Only if the lamp has a metal body and you have a way to wire it correctly. The wiring needs to run through the base and you need a way to connect the sensors wire to the lamp body. I would not recommend trying to convert a non-touch lamp unless you really are familiar with how these work.

It would depend on your lamp. The bulb has the very small candolier base and is only 3 watts. If you are actually going to use this as a night light, I would recommend caution if using around children because the flickering could cause restlessness and inability to sleep.

if it works, it will be fine. light is not strong however because it is a cfl, not hot either.

This lamp has been in place working nightly for a long time .it is in an out side location so heat is not an issue .. happy with it yes

The lamp requires an incandescent bulb of any wattage as long as the base size, part that screws in, fits. If you have the right bulb and it doesn't operate by touch, the lamp itself is malfunctioning and needs to be returned.

This is a nice lamp. It is rated for indoor and outdoor use. I personally would not expose it to full water flow from rain, but under the eves or roof should be fine. I used mine in canned lighting indoors.

This lamp may not meet your desires. I use only the bulb that came with the lamp. A larger bulb may not be safe. J

We use ours inside so not sure. If rather bulb is in an in closed fixture and/or under the house' serves, it should be ok.

This item works great in any regular lamp - it's output and heat are very low and should be fine in most household outlets - HOWEVER** make sure your fixture is BIG ENOUGH to FIT THE GIANT BULB :) hope this helps but they are a great product !!!

Not entirely sure about pet safety. I hung it by my furnace in the basement. Over protecting my house a little but hey! The price is well worth saving a potential problem.

Yes, I think it would work fine. It can be dimmed so you must test but should be fine.

no, this is just for the lamp, also there are different type of bulbs you can use for your pet. I suggest using the Zilla bulbs which from my experience have a good lifespan compared to the other bulbs I purchased from my pet store.

If it is a covered porch that is not exposed to water it should be fine. That is where I have placed my lamp, on a table on the covered porch. I have had it there for quite some time and it has been fine.

Yes! But you use the one same wattage that the lamp is rated for safe usage!

Absolutely! I have one in my 3-way bedroom lamp & it works fine. This bulb also works great in my hallway enclosed light fixtures and is the perfect size to fit in them since they are closer to a regular bulb in size, plus the 800 lumens give good light.
