Heat lamps are to warm people getting out of the shower/bath. Exhaust fans are to remove steam and odors from the bathroom. Very different functions.

The lamps work because electricity causes the filament in the bulb to heat up. It’s really like any incandescent light bulb, which created heat and light, but one specifically engineers to optimize for heat creation vs. most that sought to minimize heat creation.
