Hmmmm. Does your lamp fixture have an on/off switch or does it have a rheostat dial? If an on and off, I don't know how it could be the fixture because it would be either off or on. If it has a dial, that is probably the culprit and turning the dial up full will give full power to the emitter.

I would think it must be the thermostat itself.
