have you seen the old sun lamps. they where used to give a sun tan. they are like a flood light, but they produce infrared radiation rather than light. i think this is one of those, because it glows to quick to be a normal heating element. we used them to unsolder LSI ic's, because they can be focused and precicely controlled. hope that helps.
