Robert -

Interesting idea. This method would give more isolation and would be safer
to use. Although more expensive this may be the only way to go for large
coils. Air currents around the lamp would have to be controlled.

John: I beleave if you use a remote reading thermometer gun to read the
temprature of the light bulb you could get a good repeatable measurement
safely. The temprature guns read the Infra red light not visable , but are
the same action with a well designed narrow field of view and calibrated.
