Is this for bulbs under 100Watts only or can i use a ceramic heat emitter "bulb" too?

I use this for a 100w powersun uva/uvb bulb and it works perfect, i dont know how a ceramic heat emitter would do, but i dont think there should be a problem at all.

This particular model is fine in closed spaces; the revolutionary heat venting (even if it's feeding into a small enclosed area) fixes the traditional problem with LEDs for 100w replacement bulbs. Please note this bulb shape is a good inch longer than a normal A21 bulb! If the placement of the light source within the enclosure is relevant, you may end up with an off-center light.

I wouldn't recommend, this is an 85 w bulb, a great product though, I have bought several

I can't remember if it is or not. But I'm not sure that a 100 watt heat bulb is any hotter than a regular 100 watt bulb and the heat would be directed away from the mounting because it's a flood light, so I'd think it's rated fine for that.

A 105w CFB should be fine as they produce significantly less heat than incandescent, halogen or the likes. And this particular bulb holder uses a ceramic socket inside it to deal with heat issues without melting, that's why I use them. But as always, YMMV.

Dear Robert, Using the 100W led REQUIRES it to be attached with 2 screws to a "heat sink" to prevent it from destroying itself from the heat generated at full capacity. Have you considered a group of 10w chips that do not require a heat sink. Good luck & stay in touch. Steve at saw.smith@nyc.rr.com

No, you can use any type of T10 bulb, which are about 4" long, tube shaped incandescent. I use a 40W as I don't like the brightness of a 60 or 100. But you can use any wattage you want.

Each socket can support 150 watts, for a combined total of 300. I've used a 150 watt basking bulb along with a 100 watt ceramic heater with mine.

Yes, this reflector dome is rated for up to a 150 watt bulb, so you are safe with the 100 watt one (the 100 watt ceramic is exactly what I'm using n mine). HTH!

Yes, you can use these replace the Xenon bulb with the ceramic G9 base. Typically the Xenon bulbs are 35 watts while these are only 25 watts. These may run a bit hotter than the Xenon bulbs, but that has not been a problem for me so far and I have been using them since January 2013 for under cabinet lighting. The only issue may be if you need to use them in an application where they must be dimmable. I have not tried them in that application.

I use 2 - 100w panels and 2 deep cell batteries to power a small refrigerater and works great! So should work well with heat bulb!

I have a 60 watt bulb in mine, but it says it can take up to a 100 watt bulb max on the lamp.

I'm sure you can find a 12v 50 watt bulb that will fit, but I don't know if the enclosure will be able to handle the additional heat that will be produced. If you're looking for brighter, I would try to find an LED bulb that will produce less heat.

Yes as long as the ceramic heater is 220-240v and doesn't exceed the rated amp draw of the thermostat. i believe this thermostat is rated somewhere around 16-18 amps

I emailed ore international with the same question. They said not to use the 300watt bulb because of a fire hazard.

These bulbs are designed for work lights. The heat dissipation may not be adequate for the geometry of a Torchiere lamp and the heat may cause premature failure of the bulb. The previous bulbs in my work light, in fact, failed by having the ceramic base disintegrate.

I read the directions on the box, and it say that the product is not made for use with ceramic heat emitter, but it does not say the reason. I think it will be too warm and would be a fire hazard, when i use the two lights at the same time, the temperature stays around 80 degrees.
