Heat lamps. The heat lamps used in the albedo experiment are called clamp lamps and are sold for use in raising baby chicks and the like. They can be found in farm supply stores and online at Aubuchons web site, http://www.hardwarestore.com/. We used 250 watt bulbs. Note that some lamps are rated for lower wattage bulbs. Prices range from about $10 to $20 without the bulb, which cost an additional $4 to $5 each.
