warming lamp

Buffet food illuminator

A warming lamp is a heat-producing light fixture used to keep food at serving temperature in restaurants and buffets, or to provide warmth for animals—particularly newborn livestock or reptiles in terrariums.

The lamp radiates heat downward, maintaining temperature without further cooking: The fries sat under the warming lamp too long.
