===Heating=== Halogen lamps are the heating-elements in [[halogen oven]]s, [[infrared heater]]s and ceramic [[cooktop]]s. Low wattage halogen lamp arrays are widely used by [[monitor lizard]] keepers. Two or three small halogen lamps can produce all the heat needed in an enclosure and are recognized by the animals as sources of heat preventing curious individuals from attempting to touch them. Halogen lamps' thick glass lenses are safe to use inside high humidity reptile enclosures. Banks of powerful tubular halogen lamps were used to simulate the heat of [[reentry|re-entry]] of [[space vehicle]]s.<ref name="REV01">Raymond Kane, Heinz Sell, ''Revolution in Lamps: A Chronicle of 50 Years of Progress, Second Edition'', 2001 The Fairmount Press, {{ISBN|0-88173-351-2}} pp. 72-74</ref>
