Does this lamp deliver far infared heat and light?

Infrared lamps are not intended to produce light. Their purpose is produce heat only. While on the lamp does produce a glow like the element on an electric stove. This unit has limited power and will keep only a small quantity of food warm (not hot).

This heat lamp produces about 90% heat, and 10% light. It is a resistance typecoiled heating element that produces a slight red glow when on. Hope this helps.

Since it has a ceramic heating element, I would imagine the device emits far infrared. Near infrared usually use the red or sometimes clear 'heat lamps'. So I wouldn't use the element that comes with this lamp for any kind of sauna/therapy use. If it could take a normal 'heat lamp' then it might work for that purpose (which is why I'm interested in this lamp).

I'm not sure what you mean by "far," but it seemed weak to me. Then it stopped working.

Yes, but the arm is so heavy the light won't stay up. And if it isn't straight, it shuts off.

Hi, not sure if this answers your question, but the tech specs state "This smart appliance features a ceramic heating element which eliminates bulb replacement and provides focused infrared heat for sealing in moisture and flavor."

No. I use it in my garage for a stable heat source and it works great. The directions do note that anything combustible should not be placed really close to it. I don't find it creates a really high level of heat. I recommend this lamp! It is very sturdy.

I haven't found it to be all that hot, honestly. In the future, I'm gonna try out the clear lamp.

Not a lot since the bulb is florescent. I use mine at the office and its on all night. I don't notice any increase in heat. It has been a good light for me.

I finally figured this out! I've gotten this question so many times, I hope it helps. To answer straight off, yes, I can feel heat from a few inches away. It's not burning hot, just mild, but does get warmer the longer you keep your hand there. The bulb is 6400K. I now use this for many things. Seed germination, photo lighting, happy mood and for work lighting. Makes the seeds grow and me feel great!

Any heat created from this bulb is very small. I have a second heat lamp to supply heat for my bearded dragon.

It projects out light at 160 degrees. You will see light in the entire room but not good light. This is more for lighting a specific thing

Hi. This lamp is for healing. It will not heat a room. Minor energy consumption. It is a penetrating heat

the light may be more intense than you need for a range hood -- main thing I would consider would be the heat given off by this bulb, which is substantial

No, there is very little heat generated from this light unit. I use it to illuminate a refugium which is in a cabinet and I don't have any problems with heat at all.

Yes it does! I use this for frogs so they do not need a heat lamp. It's a regular light fixture.

Hi there, just like any light bulb it will get hot, but we have the lamp resting directly on top of a screen for our ball python. It has been a very good lamp especially if you use the Zilla bulbs. (I tried the other brand of bulbs and I felt like they burned out too quickly). This lamp is a good product and I have been happy with it.

I have used many different watts and it has done fine. I have enjoyed this lamp!!

It doesn't put out a huge mount of heat but I use it in a clamp-on reflector type fixture that doesn't enclose the bulb. Keep in mind that this bulb is quite large. It's approx. 8-1/2" long and larger in diameter than most Compact fluorescents. Personally, I wouldn't use it in such a way as to enclose the bulb and allow heat to build up but then again, it might not hurt anything. It's for sure that it won't fit in a normal table lamp.

Let's start out here and say I am not a lighting specialist. But, I have several of these lamps around my home and if it is heat from the lamp that is bothering you this is no problem, as they seem to all run cooler then incandescent lamps. I think you will find the Phillips lamp is much freighter then the one than a 60 watt it will be replacing. I was surprised that amount of light produced fem the bulbs. I am slowly replacing all my flood lamps with these lamps in my home!

I found that this light does generate a considerable amount of heat. I would not recommend it without proper air circulation.

Sadly, it isn't. I still consider it a very pretty lamp, tho. Just a suggestion, if you want to feel cozy using this lamp, I recommend that you use a 40W Equilavelnt LED Globe bulb. They are bright enough and this one's quality is really a thumbs up (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,
