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.
A bulb in a lamp converts electric energy into light and heat energy.

Heat source.
heat
When you turn on a lamp, electrical energy from the power source is converted into light energy and heat energy by the light bulb. The electrical energy flows through the wires, powering the filament in the bulb which then emits light.
A lamp typically produces light energy by converting electric energy into light through the use of a light bulb or LED.
Incandescent lamp
a lamp in an elctrical circuit provides light and partly heat. a lamp in an elctrical circuit provides light and partly heat.
In a lamp, electrical energy is converted into heat due to resistance in the filament of an incandescent bulb, and into light due to the radiation emitted by the heated filament or by the excitation of gases in a fluorescent or LED bulb.
The constant variable of a lava lamp is the heat source, typically a light bulb, that warms the wax and causes it to rise and fall in the lamp.
When you turn on an electric lamp, the electricity flows through the lamp's circuit, causing the bulb's filament to heat up and emit light. The electrical energy is converted into light energy and heat energy.
A lamp refers to the entire lighting fixture that holds the bulb and provides light, while a bulb is the actual light-emitting component that fits inside the lamp and produces light when powered. In other words, the bulb is the source of light, while the lamp is the structure that houses and supports the bulb.
