ZooL Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Has anyone ever heard of have experience with using ceramic heat lamps to stave of frosts? I am planning treeing out about 2/3 of an acre to make a little faux rain forest kind of thing, i have already picked the plats to make a canopy that should all be fine in my zone and will surround it all with a hedge, some of the plants i was planning on putting under the canopy or in the internal area are somewhat frost prone. i had an idea about using those ceramic bulbs(usually used as heat lamps for incubators and such, so no light but just heat) hooked up to s simple solar/battery system. From my basic understanding of the bulbs it should work with enough of them in a semi enclosed area. Has anyone here ever tried anything similar to what i am thinking?

waterboy 2.0 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Haven't come across that before, but have crossed just simple old Christmas tree lights under plastic/cloche cover, they were used to keep the temp up enough to stop freeze damage. You may be onto something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humboldt Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 https://www.greenacreshydroponics.net/apps/webstore/products/show/7064144 These heat bars are cheap and safe to run, not the tropics but can take the edge off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
