2. Infrared lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_lamp

   Round bulbs, often tinted red to reduce visible light, provide infrared radiant heat suitable for warming of people or animals, but the power density available is low. The development of quartz halogen linear lamps allowed much higher power density up to 200 watts/inch of lamp (8 w/mm), useful for industrial heating, drying and processing ...

3. Infrared heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_heater

   An infrared heater or heat lamp is a heating appliance containing a high-temperature emitter that transfers energy to a cooler object through electromagnetic radiation. Depending on the temperature of the emitter, the wavelength of the peak of the infrared radiation ranges from 750 nm to 1 mm.

4. Infrared - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared

   Infrared radiation is popularly known as "heat radiation", [31] but light and electromagnetic waves of any frequency will heat surfaces that absorb them. Infrared light from the Sun accounts for 49% [ 32 ] of the heating of Earth, with the rest being caused by visible light that is absorbed then re-radiated at longer wavelengths.

5. Space heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_heater

   Radiant space heaters transfer heat to directly to bodies in front of them using thermal radiation. Thermal radiation is a process by which objects at a high temperature emit heat in the form of electromagnetic waves. These heaters are often designed such that the frequency of the emitted waves are in the infrared part of the electromagnetic ...

6. Thermal radiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_radiation

   The incandescent light bulb creates light by heating a filament to a temperature at which it emits significant visible thermal radiation. For a tungsten filament at a typical temperature of 3000 K, only a small fraction of the emitted radiation is visible, and the majority is infrared light.

7. Halogen lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halogen_lamp

   Halogen lamps are the heating-elements in halogen ovens, infrared heaters and ceramic cooktops. Low wattage halogen lamp arrays are widely used by monitor lizard keepers. Two or three small halogen lamps can produce all the heat needed in an enclosure and are recognized by the animals as sources of heat preventing curious individuals from ...
