The EcoGlow Safety 600 is ideal for keeping newly hatched poultry, game and waterfowl warm for the crucial first days and weeks. The low voltage heater panel warms the chicks directly by contact and radiant heat and is far more economical than a conventional infrared lamp, using about 5% of the electricity of a 250 watt suspended lamp, which is important when heating for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Contact with the EcoGlow Safety 600 is a more natural way of raising chicks than a heat lamp too. It avoids the stress of being under light both day and night, the chicks get used to the natural light changes of night and day which improves weight gain and feather growth. The metal heater plate of the EcoGlow Safety 600 improves heat radiation and evenness of temperature under the brooder as metal is a much better conductor of heat compared to plastic alternatives. The lower contact temperature and the wide height adjustment means that chicks can be 'contact brooded' (like the mother hen) for maximum comfort and lowest wasted energy. The EcoGlow Safety 600 has simple height adjustment for a wide range of chick sizes and its tough plastic and metal construction makes it durable and easy to clean. Washable clear plastic covers are available which make cleaning even easier. Water-tight (IPX7) construction and low voltage operation are designed to comply with stringent electrical safety standards. Each EcoGlow Safety 600 is supplied with a mains adaptor (either USA or UK/Euro/Aus versions supplied) incorporating a 3m lead.

Perfect for the job. Chicks are happy and can sleep at night without a constant light.

third time I have bough these brooders, excellent, reliable, fit and forget. The only weak point is where the cable enters the top of the unit, the last one split off again. lasts a couple of years before they seem to go brittle and snap. good units though as get lost of use.
