Resistance type bulbs will run on DC just fine..and last longer as DC eliminates filament wiggle from rapid heating and cooling while AC changes phases. [Put on a pair of dark sunglasses and watch an unfrosted light bulb to see it.]

You'll need something like a 5 amp/ 200 volt rectifier bridge.

Due to a steady state voltage, a 300 watt bulb might draw a few more watts and output a bit more light running on DC???

I'm thinking more about the 60 hz line power that's being fed through
the filaments to *make* them generate far infrared. Unless the elements
are wound in a way to neutralize magnetic fields, an alternating 60 hz
magnetic field will be generated. Any higher frequency noise on the
line will also be superimposed on the magnetic field... thus my
question about electromagnetic fields...
