heating lamps for animals
Or perhaps you can phrase it a bit better...In any case, it refers to those red lamps you put above young or sick animals. In Scotland, they use them for sheep :-) Must be a way of showing how this person has climbed the career ladder!
If you google the Swedish term, you'll find various discussions of how to use these lamps.
