Use incandescent lamps as a heat source for animals and in toys Poultry farms may find it useful to use the heat from incandescent light bulbs to keep young chicks and eggs warm. Likewise, pet stores use the bulbs' heat for the heating needs of tropical animals and reptiles. For children, manufacturers use the heat source from the incandescent lamps in products such as the Easy Bake Oven toy.

I recommend:  That Pet Place sells a blue incandescent bulb to heat reptile cages. Drill Spot offers a higher voltage incandescent bulb. Use the bulb in larger areas for heating.

Consider incandescent lamps for decorative lighting In many cases, businesses need outdoor lighting more for decorative purposes than for visible purposes. Sellers of incandescent lamps sell incandescent light strips; the strips display colors wonderfully and are very attractive on the outlines of hotels and other businesses. One can easily dim these lights for effect. They give off less light than other bulbs and are great for showing off your building or for creating a romantic mood in a restaurant.

I recommend:  Incandescent lighting distributors such as Celestial Lighting offer strip lamps and other lights that are good for business and building display. Starry Night Lights sells an incandescent entry bulb that has an unbreakable globe.

Help plants grow with incandescent lamps Incandescent light bulbs carry much red from the light spectrum. This lighting works well for growing greenery and plants in a florist business or nursery.

I recommend:  Purchase incandescent spot grow bulbs from Home Harvest. Buy large watt plant bulbs from suppliers of incandescent lamps such as Ideal True Value.
