What does a hamburger, a reptile, and you have in common? Benefits from a heat lamp!  Simply put, a heat lamp  is an incandescent light bulb that is used for the principal purpose of creating heat. We see them commonly in fast food eateries as a last attempt to make the food appetizing, as well as in animal tanks for our reptilian friends.  For both our hamburgers and our cold-blooded creatures; this incandescent light is their sustenance. Commonly in zoos heat lamps will be used when babies have been abandoned by their mothers and still require the benefits of their mother's warmth to function. Last but not least, humans also reap the medical benefits of these heat lamps to improve blood circulation. It is no mystery that light has been symbolized as a life asserting entity, and now science has unionized the functionality and beauty of light!
