Revolutionary New Heat Lamp Design

Because electrical inspectors in North Carolina were concerned about the safety of heat lamps presently in use, Retrolite Corporation has created a unique new design.  Called the Retroliter Hang StraightTM, the fixture has also reduced replacement costs caused by broken bulbs.  The new design uses a polypropylene shade/enclosure to both protect the lamp and direct heat where it's needed.  This fixture is both UL and CL listed, and is offered with a two-year warranty.

At a hog producer's test farm in North Carolina the new product has gone through four farrowing cycles using 48 fixtures and not one heat lamp was lost.  Company president Richard Karton says that in the last 1½ months, over 10,000 heat lamp fixtures have been placed in the field.  For more details (and photos) visit www.retrolite.com .
