Two main effects:
1) Ice will melt (solid → liquid). The lamp supplies thermal energy (radiation) that the ice absorbs. That energy goes partly into the latent heat of fusion, so ice turns to water.
2) The water (and any remaining ice) will warm and you’ll get more evaporation. If there’s still ice present the temperature of the mixture stays near 0 °C while melting occurs; once all ice is gone the water temperature will rise further and surface evaporation will increase.
(How fast these happen depends on lamp power, distance, and amounts of ice/water.)
