infrared lamps
Invisible light heaters
Infrared lamps emit infrared radiation—light below the visible spectrum that produces heat rather than illumination.
They're used for warming (in restaurants keeping food hot, in bathrooms, in outdoor heaters), for therapeutic purposes (soothing sore muscles), and in industrial applications like drying paint or curing coatings.
The physical therapist positioned the infrared lamp over my shoulder.
