235V 1000W Halogen Infrared Heat Lamp: Built for Paint Drying

We built this 235V 1000W halogen infrared heat lamp for one reason: to dry and cure paint on the factory floor—fast, clean, and under control. It’s not a general-purpose heater. It’s a focused thermal tool that slips right into your drying line and gets the job done without roasting everything around it.

Power, Voltage, and the Right Size

Here’s the thing: 1000W gives you serious heat in a small footprint. That means you can concentrate the energy exactly where you need it—right on the wet paint. The heat drives off solvents and kicks off cross-linking quickly, so your line doesn’t have to crawl. And the 235V rating? Practical, industrial, and headache-reducing. It keeps the amperage lower than lower-voltage units, which makes wiring simpler and lightens the load on your control components. If you’re spec’ing a new machine or upgrading an existing cell, that’s a real relief. The lamp is sized to drop into standard reflector housings and fit tight drying zones. You get flexibility with mounting distance and beam spread, so you can match the heat profile to the part itself.

What’s Inside: Halogen, Quartz, and a Solid Connection

At the heart is a halogen infrared element tucked inside a quartz envelope. Quartz handles high heat and doesn’t crack under rapid on/off cycling—exactly what you need on a busy floor. The halogen gas fill lets the filament run hotter, shifting output into short-wave infrared. That spectrum punches through the paint faster, heating from the inside out for a more even cure. We use an R7s connector because it’s straightforward and secure—no fuss, just a dependable electrical connection. And the quartz has a special coating that reflects infrared back onto the filament, boosting efficiency and keeping operating temperatures steady.

How It Performs in Paint Drying

In paint drying, this setup translates to quicker line speeds and steadier quality. The short-wave infrared accelerates solvent evaporation and curing, which cuts down on dust contamination and helps avoid orange peel. Because the heat is focused, you waste less energy and keep the ambient temperature around the lamp manageable. There is a trade-off, though. The high heat density that dries paint fast also means you need proper thermal management. Your machine has to be built to handle the radiant heat and keep components at safe temperatures. When the system is designed for it, this lamp delivers a reliable, repeatable drying profile that keeps production moving.
