The Bon Home Heat Lamp is not worth your time. We wanted this to work so badly because we have pizza parties quite often and thought this would make a great addition to those. Didn't heat up even enough to be hot on my hand. And the unit kept tipping forward when we adjusted the light angle/distance from food. I do not recommend this produt.

As a previous 3-star reviewer said, a majority of the 5-star reviews are questionable. Most of them have no other reviews but a single review for this heat lamp. I purchased this heat lamp regardless of my skepticism and the heat generated is no more than a 60 watt light bulb. My plan was to keep a Turkey warm for the night. This lamp has no impact. I'm returning tomorrow.

This heat lamp consumes 200w but most of the energy is convection (heat the air around it) and conduction (heat by contact). There is very little infrared heat which can be focused by the parabola in the forward direction. As a result you must use it at no more than ten inches away. So you can keep warm a very small dish of food. There is a lot of heat in the form of hot air escaping thru the vents on top and the "cup" like shield gets very hot.

On the other hand, you can use this heat lamp as a very small room heater if your electrical wiring cannot handle a regular full size 1200-1500w heater.

Honest reviews on Bon Home HL100SV Culinary Heat Lamp

I've been buying stuff on Amazon.com for 4+ years. This is the first product that compelled me to write a review.

This product sucks and there is no way to avoid that with product liability lawyers involved. The R&D engineers likely started out with a good intentions, but they got slapped down by the lawyers. The manufacturer was forced to diminish the heat output / fire causing potential to the point that this product is virtually worthless.

If you angle the lamp so that the upper arm is completely horizontal you will get an 8" 9" heated area below. I had the lamp on for 45 minutes and it never gets that hot. The high angle shown in the advertisement won't heat up anything except the air directly around the heating element. You could get your food hotter using a cheap plastic handheld hair dryer from a drugstore.

If you want something to keep your pre-cooked chicken wings slightly hot for your drunken friends this thing may do the trick if they are drunk enough. If your guests aren't drunk, forget about it.

UPDATE April, 23 2013: I can't believe that people are still buying this product. STOP IT, IT'S JUNK. If you are hell bent on giving away your money for nothing in return, send it to me. I will send you a nice thank you letter than will give you a warm fuzzy feeling. My letter will give you more warmth than this piece of crap.

First of all it burned out after about 3 weeks.

Secondary... it's so heavy that for a none athletic woman would be a problem to move it (about 20lb).

I was laughing to tears when I start using it it's such a great idea, and such an idiotic execution of it. What a shame.

But the most interesting part is that takes about 15 min to warm up the element itself, then + about 30 min to warm your food (don't forget its 300watt). It will dry inside out your pizza or what have you "cooking";))) Well, can they at list put instead of hitting coiled wires some hitting lamp? Halogen or Quartz lamp of this power would warm up food in seconds ...Plus what they were thinking = there is no timer ,no temp. adjustment control...

OK, maybe in the next Century we gonna see this idea will be realized.
