Abstract

A lamp for a heat treatment apparatus that provides a rapid temperature rise without using a reflector. The lamp has at least one electrode part to which an electric power is supplied. A light-emitting part, connected to the electrode part, seals a filament for emitting light. A high-reflectance film is formed on an outer surface of a first portion of the light-emitting part so as to reflect light emitted from the filament. Reflected light exits from the light-emitting part through a second portion not having a film formed thereon. Accordingly, directivity of light exiting from the second portion of the light-emitting part is improved.
