Is it safe to keep the heat lamps on 24-7 even when you're not home?

Thanks. That is what I like about the lamps vs the heat pads. I can change the bulb if I need more/less heat. I wish the heat pads came with a dial that allowed me to control the intensity.

Thermostats are a hand-in-hand requirement with heat pads to begin with.
