Introduction

Picture this: you’ve got a heating job on your production line, but the space is tight. A regular heater just won’t fit. We built this ruby quartz tube halogen lamp for exactly those moments. It’s all about getting intense heat into a small footprint, fast. It throws focused shortwave infrared energy right where you need it, so you can ditch the bulky stuff and keep things moving.

The Nitty-Gritty

Let’s get into the details. This lamp runs at 400V and 2500W, packing a serious punch into a slim 300mm tube. That 400V choice is smart. It keeps the current lower, which means you can use thinner wiring and not worry about voltage dropping over longer runs. And that 300mm length? It’s just right. Short enough to squeeze into those tight spots, but long enough to give you a stable heat source and room for the connections. Plus, you can fine-tune the heat by simply adjusting the voltage. It works smoothly with whatever control system you already have in place.

What’s Inside

The heart of it is the quartz tube, coated in that signature ruby-red layer. That coating does two key things. It filters out visible light and gives you better control over the heat spectrum, pushing most of the energy into the shortwave infrared. It also helps the tube hold up under the constant stress of heating up and cooling down. Inside, the halogen cycle keeps the filament clean. That means you get steady, reliable output and a lamp that lasts way longer than your standard infrared bulb. And the R7s connector? It’s a simple, tough two-pin ceramic base that can handle the heat. It makes swapping out the lamp a breeze, since it just drops right into most standard fixtures.

Where It Shines

This is your go-to when you need heat that turns on and off almost instantly, with serious power in a small space. Think plastic forming, sealing, curing, drying—any job where you need to get in, get the work done, and move on. The shortwave infrared hits hard and fast, and the focused beam means you’re not wasting energy all over the place. The compact size makes it easy to fit into your line, and the simple R7s base means maintenance is quick and painless. Now, a heads-up. 2500W at 400V generates a lot of heat in a small area. So you need to plan for proper cooling and shielding. Get the mounting and airflow right, and you’ll keep the lamp running steady and protect it from burning out too soon.
