It is a lamp that produces heat. Heat lamps are used to keep plants warm during cold weather. They also are helpful for warming sore body parts and for keeping you warm when you get out of the shower.

Not a good idea because the heat lamp generates HEAT and after a point in time it could possibly become a fire hazard. So, NO, not as a normal light since normal (60W bulbed) lights can stay on for weeks.

A heat lamp is used to provide heat in places that are cold. These lamps are often used in barns for animals to stay warm in cold winter months. Heat lamps are also popular in bathrooms as a ceiling light to warm the bathroom.

Do snakes need heat lamps at all times?

They do not necessarily need heat LAMPS at all times but they usually require some source of heat. Captive snakes may have a heating lamp or a heating pad or in hotter parts of the world may not require heating. In the wild they do not need heating lamps. They use the sun and may go under ground when it is too cold.


EM radiation often emitted by heat lamps heaters and fires?

That would be the portion of the spectrum called "heat" (far infrared).


Less then a few present of the energy supplied to 100w lamp appears in the form of visible light What happens to rest of it What could be done to increase this percentage?

The remaining energy is radiated as heat. Making the filament hotter should increase the percentage of visible light. I believe some lamps (like halogen lamps) do this. But the real solution is to use other technologies - like fluorescent lights, or LEDs.The remaining energy is radiated as heat.

Can you use a heat lamp bulb in a regular socket in the bathroom?

You sure can, it's been done, and the bathroom didn't blow up, the bathroom was just extremely bright Some sockets, though, do have a maximum wattage and/or a maximum heat tolerance that needs to be followed to avoid the risk of fire in the wiring and ceiling. It won't blow up, but you might start a fire. Heat lamps should have a porcelain socket and heat resistant insulation.

What volt do you need for 2 heat lamps?

That would depend upon the voltage of the lamps. Heat lamps in a bath are usually 110 volts AC. You also need to know the wattage of the lamps. That will determine the capacity (think number of lamps) that the circuit could support. These ratings can be found on the lamp itself. The fixture supporting the lamp must also be of the correct capacity.
