Feit Electric 250R40/R 250W Red R40 Heat Lamp

Product Description

The FEIT ELECTRIC 250R40/R is a 250-watt red R40 heat lamp designed for applications requiring both radiant heat and colored light output. Rated at 2700K and built on a medium base, this lamp operates in standard R40-compatible fixtures and is fully dimmable for adjustable heat and light intensity. With a rated life of 2,000 hours, it delivers consistent performance in food service warming, brooding, and similar heat-lamp applications. The R40 reflector shape concentrates heat and light output directionally, making it effective in overhead or angled mounting positions. Licensed HVAC, food service, and agricultural professionals install this lamp as a straightforward replacement in existing heat lamp fixtures.

The 250R40/R suits residential and commercial installations where a standard medium-base R40 socket is present. Common applications include food warming stations, heat lamps in brooder setups, bathroom heat fixtures, and industrial spot heating where a 250-watt red lamp is specified. The dimmable design allows compatibility with standard incandescent dimmer switches, giving technicians and facility operators control over output levels without additional hardware.
