I use those clip on light thingies also but I just make sure they can handle the watts ,one more week of lights and I let my show horses down for the winter I have 1 show left and then they become horses again I like to see some hair on them in the off time I feel it makes a better show coat for next season....

I can't even find 200 watt bulbs. Where do you get them from? I'm currently using 100 watt. And doing the run to the barn and back thing. I think Wade figures Brennen and I are crazy. When my 11 year old starts complaining that I'm letting his horse get too much hair, I know I've waited too long. lol. We had a tree rub through one of the wires running to the barn, so we only have 110 in there now. I'd like it if Wade would fix that. Maybe if I take the breaker switch that runs his beer fridge and switch it si that my barn's exaust fan works again, he'll notice. Warm Pepsi with his rye won't go over quite so well.

We get the 200 watt bulbs at an electical store.. They do not come off the shelf. You should be able to find them where they sell the heat lamps and special bulbs like for outside. They will order them for you if they do not have them. These work best for us and I have tried them all. You can see by this shot of my stallion that there is snow on the ground and his coat is still nice. He gets a sheet and blanket on as well.

We have ours in nomal fixtures that my husband put in all the stalls when we built the barn. We also have 4' double florecent lights in our isle way. If you are going to use the clip on make sure you stay with what is recomended for those.. You can find the 200 watt in the screw in florecent. I did not like those and you can see the difference with the light in the stalls those are in.

Thanks. The guy at the store asked what I wanted them for. He now thinks I'm crazy. I also installed florecent lights in the aisle. They have a plug in, so I got once of those things that can change a light fixture into a plug in as well. Hopefully I don't blow my breaker when I'm running them all.

Well, we horse people taking care of our coats would sound crazy to someone who does not know what we do..

People think I am nuts when I am buying things to breed a horse or deal with an elment they have..
