What is an infrared heating bulb?

Date:2023-02-28
An infrared heat lamp bulb is a type of light bulb that emits infrared radiation, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye but can be felt as heat. Infrared heat lamp bulbs are commonly used for heating and therapeutic purposes, such as in infrared saunas, and heat therapy lamps, and for keeping reptiles and other animals warm.
These bulbs typically use a tungsten filament that is heated by an electric current to produce infrared radiation. They are available in various wattages and sizes, with different levels of intensity and heat output. Some infrared heat lamp bulbs are also coated with a special material that filters out visible light, allowing the bulb to produce a more concentrated and intense heat.
It's important to note that infrared heat lamp bulbs can be hazardous if not used properly. They can cause burns or fire if they come into direct contact with skin, clothing, or other materials. Additionally, they can pose a risk of eye damage if they are looked at directly for an extended period of time. It's important to follow all safety precautions when using infrared heat lamp bulbs and to use them only as directed by the manufacturer.
