Along those lines I suggest a 500w outdoor work light.  They don't call
them heat lamps, but I've used them to desolder 300-some-pin CPU sockets
from PC boards.  If you use a 130-volt bulb you'll get a higher proportion
of infrared to visible light, but less total output.

I wouldn't use the indoor lamp, the envelope is too fragile.
