Lol! Some real informative answers!
Straight up, i can promise you that a 1 x 1000W bulb is not gonna be blinding chopper pilots using imaging camera's!
Your bulb will obviously add a nominal amount of heat to the room, but then do u really think the police are zooming in on everybody in country using fan heaters which are generally all 3kW (3000W)??! Compared to how much the rest of your house will be glowing in IR anyway, the bulb will make no difference.
The only thing to be more careful of, and is only one other likely yet still slight way to be caught, is actual light pollution. If the bare bulb is visible thru ur window & line of sight is good from air & ur entire surrounding neighbour hood is dark, then yeah a decent chopper pilot will then obviously wonder why u got a security light mounted indoors!!
But unless u got banks of lights (6+) and every surrounding room/ building within 50metres is at sub zero temps, then u don't have to worry about heat signatures 1 bit.
