Introduction
We build infrared halogen heating lamps for the industrial jobs that demand a lightning-fast response and precise control. The whole point is to get heat exactly where you need it. These lamps blast concentrated radiant heat right onto the target. So you get the temperature spike you need, without wasting energy and time heating up the entire machine.
What’s Inside?
Here’s the thing about these lamps: they’re built around a compact quartz tube that holds a halogen element. A popular model, for instance, comes in at 2500W. Many are designed for 400V operation. This is a smart move, because it lowers the current draw. That keeps your wiring simpler and cuts down on connection losses—a real practical win for industrial setups. At around 300mm long, the lamp gives you a predictable thermal footprint. This makes it easy to match the heat zone to your part’s shape. You get the heat exactly where you want it, and nowhere else.
The Build and the Brains
The quartz envelope is the workhorse here. It can take the high heat and has the chemical stability needed for the halogen cycle to do its thing. And that halogen fill? It keeps the filament clean as it runs. This means the output stays stable over time and helps prevent the filament from burning out too soon. The glass also has infrared coatings. They shape the energy output, pushing it into the wavelength band your material absorbs best. Then there’s the R7s connector. It’s a simple, two-end contact design that makes these lamps a straight-up, drop-in replacement in most fixtures. No fuss.
Where They Shine
These lamps are for the moments when you need heat, fast, and in one specific spot. Think plastic processing, drying coatings, curing, or putting components together. The start-up is almost instant, and the heat density is intense. You can really shrink your cycle times. But, and this is important, that kind of power creates a lot of local heat. So you need to make sure your machine’s cooling and shielding are up to the task. Plan accordingly.
