Abstract
A heating system for a machine includes a tungsten halogen light bulb, a socket, a heat sink, and a reflector. The tungsten halogen light bulb is configured to emit light when connected to an electric power source. The socket is selectively electrically connected to the electric power source. The tungsten halogen light bulb is removeably connected to the socket. The reflector includes a reflecting surface, and is fixedly mounted in relation to the heat sink, such that the reflecting surface reflects at least a portion of the light onto the heat sink.
