Help, Please! Heat Lamps/Sources

[nehimama]

I really need a good source for well-made heat lamps (bulbs AND reflectors) for use in my livestock areas. Currently, I'm using the el cheapo reflectors with 250W red lamps. It's all I can find locally, and am so tired of them failing when they're needed most.

I don't often use them, but when they're needed, they're needed!

I'm sick to death of constantly buying only what's available here, and having the bulbs burn out at the most critical times. And sick to death of having many extras on hand to replace the ones that fail. What a waste! I'm willing to spend good money for a GOOD unit.

Can anyone point me to an online source? I've tried a web search, but am not having much luck at all. Will continue trying, but would really appreciate input.

Thanks!

I know your looking for heat lamps and this isn't a heat lamp but this is what I am considering for my coop. My place is in northern Maine and 25 below zero is not uncommon at least a few times during winter. These are electric quartz radiant heaters. Kind of pricey. But they are 4000 watts!

Here's another from the same website, not as pricey, infrared:

Then there's this heat lamp, a little more expensive than the junk available locally:
