2000w halogen heating lamp 740mm sk15 infrared lamp for printing drying

May 10, 2026

We built this 2000W halogen infrared lamp for one reason: to dry high-speed prints fast, without turning your whole shop into a sauna. It puts the heat right where it needs to be—on the ink—and keeps the wasted warmth to a minimum. Here’s the thinking behind the power and the size. We set it at 2000W because that sweet spot gives you serious heat density without burning the lamp out too soon. The 740mm length creates a focused heating zone that lines up with most print widths, so you’re heating the substrate directly, not the entire machine. And that SK15 two-pin base? It’s tough, stays cool under load, and locks in solid—no arcing, even when things get hot. The guts matter, too. Inside that quartz envelope, the halogen cycle keeps the filament stable, so rapid on/off cycles don’t kill it. The infrared coating pushes the output toward shorter wavelengths, which punch into the ink faster. The result? Lightning-quick thermal response—seconds, not minutes—so you can keep pace with the line. Just know this: it’s intense. That intensity is exactly what you want, but it means the reflector and airflow around the lamp need to be matched to the heat. Plan for that, and it behaves like a champ. On the line, this is what it feels like. You get heat you can trust—consistent, controllable, and repeatable—so you set the ink without scorching the substrate. It drops straight into existing fixtures thanks to the SK15 base, so swapping it in is simple. For the folks running the line, that means shorter dwell times, curing that stays steady, and fewer headaches from lamp failures shutting things down.
