IR SENSOR

      IR sensor terrible yes, after a fashion It is rough and very out of focus, but IR that affects the filament will change its temperature and therefore it is the radiation of the black body and also its resistance.
     The mass of the filament is huge for a sensor and is subject to the ambient temperature since the bulbs were not completely evacuated and the ambient temperature is an important contribution to the temperature of the filament in most cases that somehow would have to filter. basically, it ends up measuring only the ambient temperature of the filament. Then it is not a good sensor. The change is non-linear resistance to temperature and increases significantly when the filament is heated. This effect is necessary for the design to create the correct power. There are much better and more accurate ways to detect IR. I found infrared sensors of the type commonly used in the security light of home motion sensors online for a couple of dollars. The PIN diodes that are used for many IR sensor applications are surplus available. 
    The silicone diode joints are very sensitive to IR, therefore, the silicon solar cells, which makes it another raw IR sensor if it is properly biased. Larger cells respond very slowly. Most digital cameras are sensitive and require an IR filter to focus properly on visible light due to better sensitivity to the IR frequencies of silicon. FYI, you can see IR remote control signals using many digital cameras, so not all IR is filtered on these devices. Some IR LEDs are a little sensitive to IR, probably more sensitive if they are reverse polarized and then you see a change in leakage current (there is information online.) 
    Often, the junk PC mouse will have an optional chopper with an IR sensor. Sometimes, older CD ROM drives use IR sensors to see the position of the tray. If you want it sensitive to the signs of rapid change, it must be small. Phototransistors are also available for almost nothing. The semiconductor IR sensors are literally everywhere, therefore, use anything else, but not the bulb.
