Does the radiation depend on ambient temperature?
The radiation depends on the temperature of the emitter. For a given input power, changes of ambient temperature cause the same change in emitter temperature. The result can be estimated, as radiation is proportional to T4. For example, an increase of 10°C in ambient temperature increases the radiation by about 4%. For stable radiation, the emitter temperature must be stable.
