    If the heat lamp bulbs are identical wattage and the sum of the lamp wattage is under 100W then it should be ok. Most bulbs are higher than 50W though. I also don't like to use the max load of heating sources that a thermostat can handle. So, if a thermostat is rated for 500W I'll only load it with 400W worth of heat sources.
