Clear flood Incandescent lamps is what you'd like, I think. The light spectrum is ideal. One example is here:sheldonkreger said:Sorry to bring this back to life, but I have purchased a set of three heat lamps (250 Watt 130 Volt) after doing some research. I'm wondering how long to expose myself to them each day.

The idea is to make the day longer, using redlight in the darker hours of the morning and at night. But if you don't get outside much for daylight even during the day, then you can use redlight all day long (as I do).
The trick for me is finding the right distance, just far away from the skin that the heat is not uncomfortable. i think it burns about an extra 200 calories over a ten hour day (maybe 20 calories an hour). That's as much as running two 10-minute miles!
