The heat lamp would be installed where it is needed. The only place the lamp is not permitted to be placed is over a doors swing radius. This is in the electrical code to prevent a door that is left opened and in a position directly under the lamp. The heat from the lamp has the ability to raise the temperature of the door to its combustion point and set it alight.
The heat lamp's heat will travel to the holder and it will be damaged, melt, or cause a slight fire!

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.
An incandescent lamp is not cool to the touch unless it is an extremely low wattage. Heat given off by incandescent lamps is one of the drawbacks of the lamp. Total overall efficiency is reduced by the wasted heat.
Mostly heat, but that heat causes a filament to glow, which makes light.
over the toilet
Above where you stand or sit when you are wet and cold in the bathroom after bathing or showering. Not in the shower area itself.
Door (front door)
Heat lamps are often installed in bathroom ceilings. You can find a variety of fixtures from a single bulb heat lamp fixture to a combo heat lamp vent fan and ceiling light. Heat lamps require a timer on the switch so they will automatically turn off if left unattended.
I installed mine just out the shower... where I dry off... its warm
Anyplace but above the tub/shower. The best places would be about the commode or vanity. Center of the bathroom is another good location. In the place of the existing fan is the easiest. Use a combination fan heat lamp.
A ceiling heat lamp should be placed over an empty space so that it doesn't overheat anything in the room. Putting the heat lamp over the shower rod could start a fire and over a toilet seat could make the seat too warm and burn someone.
One can install a bathroom heat lamp remove the existing fixture, open up the junction box, and connect the necessary wires together with that of the heat lamp, neatly tuck them away and close. One can find more detailed information on these from: eHow.
No problem. But watch the wattage on the bulbs. The heat is going to go the opposite direction. And the lamp is ment to be in the opposite stress position so that it could be much less stable than when sitting. But wiring wise it is the same, just wire the two wires in the ceiling to the two on the lamp. And there may be issues with code requirements. Overall it is better to be safe than sorry and use a lamp designed for the ceiling.
This is old school technology and hasn't been done for years in construction. What used to happen, the bathroom being a small room didn't have much ceiling area. Centrally locating the heat lamp fixture to a good position sometimes positioned the fixture in the radius of the in-swinging bathroom door. On many occasions the door was left under the heat lamp with the lamp on and the door caught fire from the build up of heat from the lamp. The electrical code made a revision to keep the fixture out of the arc radius of the door and this made for some strange locations of the fixture. The installing of heat lamp fixtures has just gone out of favour. It has been replaced with in floor heating in bathrooms.
If by light you meant a heat lamp then yes they do. They would need a heat lamp until they are fully feathered.
