The $18 heat lamp that turned my chicken coop into a sauna

Last January I set up one of those red heat lamps in my coop in Barre to keep the girls warm during that cold snap, but I aimed it too close to the roost and woke up to feathers everywhere and my hens panting like they ran a marathon. It took me 3 hours to rewire the whole setup with a thermostat timer, anyone else nearly cook their flock before figuring out the distance thing?
