Introduction
We built this quartz carbon halogen lamp to be a compact workhorse. It’s all about getting a lot of infrared heat, fast, right where you need it. Think industrial heating jobs that can’t wait—where you need a burst of focused energy on demand. It’s a simple, solid combo: a quartz envelope, a carbon filament, and a halogen gas fill. Together, they deliver steady, radiant heat without taking up much space. We designed it to be wired up quickly, tough enough for a rough factory floor, and to give you consistent heat every single time.
The Nitty-Gritty
Here’s the thing—we chose specs that match the reality of your machines. The 400V rating means it can run on the high-voltage circuits most factories already have. That keeps the current lower, so your wiring stays simpler and the conductors don’t have to be oversized. At 2500W, you get serious power to heat things up fast. But the 300mm tube keeps the heat zone tight, so you can squeeze this into tight spots without redesigning the whole setup. That’s the trade-off: you get a ton of heat from a short element. But it also means the parts around it need to be ready for the heat. If your machine runs non-stop, make sure you’ve got airflow or shielding in place to keep the driver and reflector from getting too hot.
The Materials and the Why
Quartz is the clear choice for the envelope. It handles extreme temperatures, doesn’t crack under thermal shock, and stays transparent to infrared. That transparency means the energy gets through with minimal absorption, so more of the heat actually reaches your target. Inside, the carbon filament gives you a broad spread of infrared, and the halogen fill runs the halogen cycle. That cycle redeposits evaporated filament back onto the filament, which keeps output steady and stretches the lamp life compared to standard incandescent designs. And the R7s base? It’s just practical. It holds tight, makes a solid electrical connection, and makes replacement easy when you’re out on the floor. You can swap the lamp without tearing the fixture apart, which means less downtime.
Where It Shines
This lamp is for the moments you need fast, pinpoint heating. Think plastic processing, curing adhesives, drying coatings, or pre-heating parts. The focused infrared hits the surface fast, without turning the rest of your equipment into a sauna. That helps you keep a tighter handle on temperature. It starts instantly and hits operating temperature quickly, which keeps your cycle times short. In practice, it’s a straight drop-in for existing R7s-fitted heaters. But you still need proper mounting and cooling. The power is there, no question. Just make sure the fixture and cooling are spec’d right, or you can run into overheating and shorten the life.
