Short Wave Infrared Halogen Heating Lamp: Power, Design, and Application

We built this short wave infrared halogen heating lamp for the industrial jobs where heat has to hit hard and hit fast. It pours energy into the 0.78–1.6 µm band, which is exactly what plastics, coatings, and composites soak up. The payoff? Lightning-quick response and control that keeps your line moving instead of waiting around.

Power, Voltage, and Size—Straight to the Point

It runs at 400V and 2500W, packed into a 300mm tube. That high-voltage, high-density setup keeps the current lower on the line while cramming serious wattage into a small footprint. The 300mm length is the kind of detail that saves you headaches—it fits tight spots, so you can upgrade an existing line without tearing the whole oven apart. And when you need heat, it jumps to it. Ramp-up is fast, and once it settles in, the output stays steady.

Inside the Lamp: Built to Last

Inside, the halogen cycle does the quiet work of protecting the filament, helping the lamp keep its output as it ages. The quartz envelope handles sudden temperature swings and lets short wave IR through with minimal loss. A reflective coating pushes the energy forward where you need it, so more power lands on the target and less heat goes wandering off. And the R7s connector? It’s a compact, proven fit for this tube, making installation quick—no tools, no fiddling—and the contact stays solid even when there’s vibration.

Where It Shines—And What to Keep in Mind

This lamp is a natural fit for PET blowing, thermoforming, drying, and curing—any place that needs intense, focused heat. The high heat density plus fast response helps shorten cycle times and keeps temperatures more even across the part. Just keep one thing in mind: that concentrated output means you’ll want solid machine cooling and proper thermal isolation. It’s powerful, and you want that power working for you, not heating up the whole enclosure.
