Waz 4,293 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Remember reading a post somewhere recently about DIY heat lamps made from stainless dog bowl from the pound shop. Anyone made one? Got given a few stainless bowls, to much of a dome in them to use as dog bowls. So might have a go at making a heat lamp, I got one on loan at the minute.

SwissTony 0 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I wouldn't have thought so, the plastic will get cooked and start to crumble. Either this or possibly this maybe better. You will need screw fit infra red bulbs to fit these though, both sites have them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
