The lamp is to illuminate the coop so that the chickens can find their way up their roosts more easily.(When I installed the heat lamp I removed all light bulbs to save electricity. I have only one switch in the coop.) The light goes off when the coop doors are locked for the night.nytime you stick a 250-watt heat source in an area with a lot of dry, combustible material (i.e. feathers, dust, wood shavings, etc) , you have a potential hazard. And chicken coop fires do happen, with devastating results.
