PAR Heat Lamps e B PHILIPS | PAR Durability: You won't find a better, longer- lasting heat lamp. In hog production, the heating of newborn piglets is critical to their survival. And critical to a hog pro- ducers profit margins. The Philips 175 Watt PAR Infrared Heat Lamp can help save piglets’ lives, ‘while saving costs. A unique lamp with many heat- ing and drying capabilites, the PAR lamp is ideally suited to hog production. And in comparison with ‘the more popularly used 250 Watt R-40 heat lamp, ‘the PAR has proven to be superior in both perfor ‘ance and cost savings, lilustrating PAR superiority can be done by referenc- ing @ study done in cooperation with Paul Noland, PhD. of the University af Arkansas Department of Animal Sciences. In the study, many of the factors which distinguish the two lamps were tested. One of the factors was the intemal design of the PAR lamp. It actually “incorporates a true optical system’ which directly affects the beam pattern of the bulb. According to the study, the PAR lamp was. found to have @ more precise beam pattemn than the 40 while providing a heat pattern as good if not better than the R40. The beam pattem of the PAR lamp maintained an 18" diameter range that had been selected to provide an ample area for the pic- lets to be warmed. This measurement allowed the pene A aah piglets to stay warm without being crushed by the aud nt ibTakoviiin ts Sow ty lone propery direct light where needed in brooder facility. Also, according to the study, it was indicated that the PAR lamp actually provides a ‘warmer environment, with 2 10°F difference. For the R-40 lamp to heat as efficiently bby maintaining the optimum 18" area, it would have to be installed considerably lower than, the PAR, resulting in increased vulnerability to breakage. And break resistance is another key point in the superiority of the PAR lamp. In the University of Arkansas study, the PAR ‘was found to offer a greater potential savings in bulb replacement costs, assuming that 40% per year of the standard lamps are lost to water shock or urine splash. Thats because Unlike the P-40, which is composed of soft glass, the PAR lamp has a hard glass compos tion similar to Pyrex® So whether its assaulted by the impact of a broom or rake or liquid, the PAR can withstand it all and keep on working. And working safely, as exploding glass is a hazerd to both pigs and humans. PAR Economy: It not only saves you money. It makes you money. There are many factors inherent in the Philips PAR lamp which contribute to greater cost savings. First, it does more with less wattage. Second, it reaches {ull operating temperature almost immediately, ‘obviating the need for expensive warm-up time. Third, its unique neck construction saves @ consider- ‘able amount of heat over the F-40. Fourth, the PAR bulb has an exceptionally long life —at least 5000 hours of continuous, efficient, perfectly executed heating and drying capabslties. And finaly, the PAR, lamp fits into standard sockets and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The PAR Heat Lamp does with 175 watts what an ordinary heat lamp does with 260 watts. Thats 30% in energy savings. So, at $.10 per k.w.h., thats $37.50 saved over the life of one lamp. Multiply $3750 by the number of lamps you operate to see examples of the savings potential Although energy cost savings calculations must allow for many variables for accuracy, Philips PAR, lamps as replacements for R40 lamps can offer considerable cost savings to a hog producer. For energy efficiency, less wattage, lang life and resist- ange to breakage, due to both impact and water/urine exposure. Philips Lighting Company £200 Franklin Square Drive PO.
