Does the incandescent light bulb ban affect heat lamps?

Not a problem for us at this point, since we don't have anything that requires a basking spot, but I was wondering. The whole purpose of the ban is to get rid of less energy efficient bulbs, and by definition, heat lamps shouldn't be energy efficient because they're supposed to emit heat.
 
They are going the be labeled specialty bulbs but it's already kicking me in the nuts. I use GE Reveals, which were stated as being specialty bulbs since they have a neodymium coating, but GE has tweaked the 100w to only consume energy as a 72w and I can't find 75w bulbs locally. I used to use them for a few lizard cages...guess not now. The zoomed, exoterra, whatever brand are an arm and a leg and I refuse to pay for their cheap bulbs at 2-5x the price of a 4 pack of standard bulbs that do the same thing.

Clarification... Specialty bulb designation means the bulb is suppose to be exempt from the regulation.
