Does it have a heat source other than the bulbs? I notice mosquitoes are attracted to heat and CO2...

No heat source, just the bulb to attract them and a fan to trap them. The device works very well in the evenings.

I haven't noticed any heat but it seems to have certainly cut down the mosquito problem in my yard. It also draws in lady bugs, moths, mosquito eaters and such so every morning I open the unit and set them free. The unit pretty well destroys the mosquitos as it seems they are too fragile to last in it overnight.

No, the heat from the bulbs is dissipated through the screen. It would be a fire hazard if removed.

Mine didn't. You will be using it in the winter, and like me, I have that going and several heat lamps in the chicken coop. Its plugged into 110 so I don't know how it would draw so much electricity without a fire. Maybe the power bill would have been that much anyway because it is winter not just the one de-icer.

I'm using a few of these on the outside of my house in insect-rich Florida, and while I haven't systematically sampled the different light fixtures around the house, and with the caveat that some sides of the house may be naturally more prone to bugs than the other sides... I *think* that may be right. At least so far this year I haven't noticed the masses of insects around the lights that I sometimes see. That said, if LEDs attract fewer bugs, that may be a double-edged sword. If they're not coming to your outdoor floodlights, they'll still be coming to your windows (unless your whole house is LED inside too!). I've had mine in use regularly for several months now and really do like them so far. Feit seems to make a great LED.

I don't have scientific proof of that. There's a low emitting heat and it's an LED. Hope that helps.

Take a look at http://www.flowtron.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=F&Category_Code=InsectKillers. I think the bigger model uses two bulbs?

I don't know enough about how the power works in India but I do know that they unit has a standard US plug. I would disagree with the other comment about the room needing to be dark with nobody in the room. We use it on our patio with lots of people around. The device seems to emit more CO2 than people do and with the blue light adding an additional attractant, the mosquitos leave me alone. When using it inside the house, I just turn it on prior to using the room and by the time I enter, the mosquitos are gone.

I haven't seen any. It catches most mosquitoes and a few small and curious butterflies that are attracted to the light.

No it doesn't. Maybe a little passive solar gain, but not designed as a heater.

On mine,the shade also gets hot as the bulb warms it. This may be due to the fact that there is metal surrounding the plastic. I do see that on mine that the entire base that plugs into the wall is NOT WAR OR HOT. I also see that there is no burning of the plastic sheathing under the metal shade. I leave mine on, day and night. Please call the manufacturer if you have a concern and let them know what you are or are not noticing. Best Wishes!

The package comes with two 250W halogen bulbs. The color temperature is warm. The bulbs generate a lot of heat. The metal reflectors are too hot to touch.

I haven't tryed heat emitters in it yet . So far I have only had a Exo Terra Repti Glo 10.0 UVB compact 26w in it and it's been working great ! . If you put a emitter in please let me know how it works :) .

You want a shade that allows air flow to the bulb. This light doesn't get as hot as an incandescent bulb, but it does generate heat and that heat can damage the electronics if it's in a completely closed fixture.

It is a heat lamp/bulb, but there is a fan (whether switched on or not) that helps circulate the heat.

there is all most no heat and they run more to the Violet side of he spectrum most led do try low volt grow lamps

Hi there, just like any light bulb it will get hot, but we have the lamp resting directly on top of a screen for our ball python. It has been a very good lamp especially if you use the Zilla bulbs. (I tried the other brand of bulbs and I felt like they burned out too quickly). This lamp is a good product and I have been happy with it.

I cannot answer specifically but it comes with a smaller CFL and states it will accept 3 different wattages of an incandescent bulb but they are lower than the three you mention. The shade is relatively small so there is a heat issue.
