Introduction
We built this 180-watt halogen lamp for engineers who need serious, predictable heat—without taking up a ton of space. This isn’t your everyday bulb. It’s a focused heating tool, designed for machines where space is at a premium and you need heat fast.
Power, Voltage, and Geometry: The Real Story
That 180-watt rating? It tells you exactly what you’re getting: a steady, reliable blast of heat. Match it to your setup, and you get repeatable temperature control without over-engineering the whole system. We designed it to run on specific voltages, so it fits straight into your machine’s existing power and control setup. No guesswork. And the tube length? That was chosen on purpose. It concentrates the heat into one precise spot, so you’re heating what matters, not the whole frame around it. The payoff? A heater that slips into tight spots and puts the energy exactly where you need it.
Materials and Design: What Makes It Tick
The halogen cycle keeps the quartz envelope clean, so the output stays steady over time. No dimming. No surprises. The quartz tube itself is tough—built to handle the shock of rapid on/off cycles and hold up under intense filament heat. The halogen gas inside helps keep the filament temperature steady, which means your heat output stays consistent. We went with an R7s connector because it’s the standard for linear halogen lamps. It makes installation quick and simple. Seriously—just plug it in and go.
Where It Shines—And What to Expect
This lamp is your go-to when you need heat that ramps up fast. Think industrial heating, sealing, curing, or drying a specific area. That 180W power density gives you quick response, but it also means your mounting and cooling have to be designed for the heat. You’ll notice the area around the lamp gets warm—so plan your clearances accordingly. That’s the trade-off for fast, focused heat in a small package. If you need a heat source you can trust—one that installs easily and holds steady—this custom halogen lamp is built for the kind of work that happens on the shop floor.
