Halogen Short Wave Infrared Lamp

Power, Voltage, and Shape: What Makes These Lamps Tick

Here’s the deal: we built these halogen short wave infrared lamps to get heat where you need it—fast. And focused. A typical unit runs at 2500W and 400V. That’s a lot of current packed into a small footprint, which is exactly how we get intense heat without taking up space. The tube is 300mm long, a length chosen to match standard heating zones. So the heat lands where you want it, clean and precise, with little waste. That kind of power density feels great when you need it. But it also means your control gear and cooling have to be up to the job. Pushing this much energy into a tight space needs serious electrical backbone and solid heat management.

Inside the Design: Chemistry, Quartz, and a No-Fuss Connection

The halogen cycle is the quiet hero here. It keeps the quartz envelope clean by pulling evaporated filament material back onto the filament. The result? Stable output and a longer life. The light peaks near 1 micron, which couples really well with many industrial materials. That’s why surfaces heat quickly—no waiting around. Quartz handles the shock of rapid on/off cycling without cracking. It’s tough, and it shows up when the work demands it. Then there’s the R7s connector. It’s a direct, rigid fit built for high current, and it makes installation simple. No messing with terminal blocks. You just slide it in and lock it. If you’re running in a rough environment, we also offer SK15 options to keep the connection secure when things shake and rattle.

Why You’ll Reach for These: Speed, Control, and Easy Swaps

These lamps shine when you need fast response and tight temperature control. Take PET blowing. The short wave energy hits the preforms fast, heating them without scorching the surrounding machine. In drying and curing, you get a quick ramp-up and repeatable heat profiles, day after day. The form is compact, so it slips into tight spots without a fight. And when a replacement is needed, the R7s interface makes it a drop-in job—no hassle, no downtime. Just keep one thing in mind: with this kind of power, your machine’s cooling needs to be sized for continuous, high-power operation. That’s the trade-off for this level of heat on demand.
