I use a 75 watt heat lamp in 36" habitat. at the end i use it on, it is about 80-82 degrees. it depends on how far away the bulb is and how the temp. is naturally. so don't place it close enough to get touched or burned by whatever your warming not burning. Hope this helps a bit. not a professional. Just experienced this much.

What is difference between R40 and BR40 light bulbs?
R40 is a Red Heat Lamp Light Bulb BR40 is a Clear Heat Lamp Light Bulb
What does the light bulb in the heating lamp represent?
Heat source.
A bulb in a lamp converts electric energy into?
Light and heat energy.
What does the energy of a light bulb change into after the lamp has been lit for a while?
heat
What does the energy of a light bulb change into after the lamp has been lit for a while how can you measure the change?
depending on the bulb. alot of heat
What is a light bulb in a circuit?
a lamp in an elctrical circuit provides light and partly heat. a lamp in an elctrical circuit provides light and partly heat.
What are the sources of heat of artificial brooding?
electricity, solid fuel, fire(using wood), infrared light, light bulb or heat lamp, gas e.t.c
When you turn on a lamp and the light bulb becomes warm which energy conversion causes this heating of the light bulb?
Electrical energy absorbed by the lamp's filament produces thermal energy as well as light.
Why can you see both a light bulb and a lamp base?
The light bulb is inside the lamp base, right?so, when you turn on the lamp, the light shines THROUGH the lamp base, although dimmer, so you can se both. if you took the lamp base off, the light bulb would look brighter.
Is the light from an incandescent lamp monochromatic?
No, an incandescent bulb i.e. a bulb that emits light by the generation of heat, emits white light and is therefore not monochromatic. For a source to be monochromatic, the light emitted must be of a single wavelength.
Where does a light bulb live?
In a lamp?
What degrees is it under a lamp?
Depends on the lamp and bulb if you are referring to temperature. Directly related to energy wasted as heat and not converted to lumens. The element or filament has a higher resistance and displaces heat. Inefficient unless heat is your goal as with a heat lamp. If you are referring to degrees of diffusion; that depends on the bulb or the shades diameter, the shades reflectivity and distance of the light source to the end of the shade.
