2. Infrared lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_lamp

   Infrared heating uses infrared lamps, commonly called heat lamps, to transmit infrared radiation to the body that is being heated. When a body with a large surface area needs to be heated, an array of infrared lamps is often used. The lamp commonly contains an incandescent bulb that produces infrared radiation.

3. Infrared heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_heater

   A heat lamp is an incandescent light bulb that is used for the principal purpose of creating heat. The spectrum of black-body radiation emitted by the lamp is shifted to produce more infrared light. Many heat lamps include a red filter to minimize the amount of visible light emitted. Heat lamps often include an internal reflector.

4. Incandescent light bulb - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb

   The heat produced by filaments is used in some applications, such as heat lamps in incubators, lava lamps, Edison effect bulbs, and the Easy-Bake Oven toy. Quartz envelope halogen infrared heaters are used for industrial processes such as paint curing and space heating.

5. 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.

6. Electric light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_light

   Electric lamps can be used as heat sources, for example in incubators, as infrared lamps in fast food restaurants and toys such as the Kenner Easy-Bake Oven. [ 44 ] Lamps can also be used for light therapy to deal with such issues as vitamin D deficiency , [ 45 ] skin conditions such as acne [ 46 ] [ 47 ] and dermatitis , [ 48 ] skin cancers ...

7. Heating element - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_element

   Radiative heating elements (heat lamps) are high-powered incandescent lamps that run at less than maximum power to radiate mostly infrared instead of visible light. These are usually found in radiant space heaters and food warmers, taking either a long, tubular form or an R40 reflector-lamp form.
