1. A heat lamp for heating a coverage area on a floor, the heat lamp comprising:
a heat source that emits infrared radiation;
a reflective sheet surrounding the heat source with a first emission area tuned to direct infrared energy directly downward out of the first emission area;
an outer sheet surrounding the reflective sheet with an insulation gap between the outer sheet and the reflective sheet with a second emission area directed downward out of the insulation gap, wherein a total emission area of the heat lamp comprises of the first emission area plus the second emission area, wherein the total emission area is substantially equal to the coverage area of the heat lamp; and
an end reflector positioned on opposite ends of the reflective sheet to combine the reflective sheet to the outer sheet, wherein each end reflector comprises of tabs that extend into corresponding slots in the outer sheet to minimize conduction of heat from the reflective sheet to the outer sheet.
