So, sounds like a good time for a stupid question.


Anyone have any data on heat output of a regular incandescent bulb compared to a heat lamp?


Example, I did a test run on the huge display fridge. A 250 heat lamp gave me a consistent temp of 97*. I know I need a bit more but am curious if a heat lamp is the way to go or what it would compare to for regular bulb or actually bulbs since I would prefer more than 1.


Note--this was a very basic mock up with a heat lamp laying in the bottom and the thermo out of direct line sight. no fans and nothing fancy just trying to get an idea of what I would be looking at wattage wise.

I've never recorded any data on it. I think an incandescent bulb is more of a slow even heat, whereas a heat lamp is a whole lotta heat all at the same time.

makes sense, based on what I can find it appears as though heat lamps provide that "whole lotta heat" in a direct path (for the most part) hence why I decided not to put the thermo directly in front for my test. Think I might swing by lowes on my way home to get a splitter and some high wattage incandescent to see what happens.

how would a 250w heat lamp compare to let's say.... a heated car seat??? would you happen to have recorded any data regarding that as far as heat disbursement????

They are sorta similar but a heated car seat is more warmer in the middle and makes you feel like you wet yourself.

Sally, my brother, brother in law and I did some figuring the other day and it only costs about a dollar a month to run my bator.

No idea what about one of the ceramic heat emitters?
