I've been using Pro Products panels for over 10 years with no problems. I often see PP's Bob Pound at the herp shows and PP's customer service is great because you can call them and ask questions directly. Plus, the panels they're making these days are strong enough to use in zoo enclosures and bird cages. Many different sizes are available, and they're made from self-extinguishing materials and are UL listed -- they always were.

Pro Heat radiant panels offer many features not available with any other type of heater. Pro Heat radiant panels are UL listed, covered by a full 10 year warranty and have an expected service life of 50 plus years. Pro Heat panels also have the highest BTU output per watt of any brand sold, resulting in a smaller unit creating a better basking area and gradient across the cage. Our panels will cost less to operate as compared to other types of heaters, so they will actually pay for themselves and then put those savings back into your pocket every year thereafter. They are made of completely non-toxic / non-combustible materials, so pose no risk of a fire hazard nor can they damage or injure anything in the cage. They can be mounted directly against any surface and are designed so animals can't wrap around them. They can't crack or split open as other units can. Our panels use mounting hardware that can't be dislodged by the cage occupant. Pro Heat radiant panels are used worldwide by more zoos, professionals, hobbyists, theme parks, vets, kennels, commercial & residential buildings than other brands; the Bronx, London, Hong Hong & Siam zoos, Disney World, Sea World, American Museum of Natural History, Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Cypress Gardens, Liberty Science center, Smithonian Institution, Poly Bio-Marine, Las Vegas Museum of Natural History, Out of Africa & Out of Africa Wildlife Park, Wind over Wings raptor sactuary and the Lake Forest Nature Center being just a few.
Pro Heat radiant panels have received Many accolades including Reptiles Magazine editor's choice award for the best heat source.
