BROODER LAMP CERAMIC SOCKET 2M SHOOF 218262

Mount the ceramic socket securely to a heat lamp fixture or brooder setup at least 45-60cm above the chicks, ensuring the 2m cord is safely positioned away from bedding and moisture. Insert an appropriate heat lamp bulb (typically 100-250W) into the socket and connect to a power outlet with proper earthing. Adjust the height gradually to maintain a brooder temperature of 35°C at chick level, reducing by 2-3°C weekly as birds grow. Tips: Use a thermostat or dimmer switch to maintain consistent temperatures and reduce energy costs in the variable SE Queensland climate. Keep the ceramic socket dry and free from dust buildup by checking regularly, as moisture and debris can reduce lamp efficiency and lifespan.
