Technical Deep-Dive
We built these ruby quartz jacket halogen lamps for engineers who need serious, focused infrared heat—without taking up a ton of space. Each one hits 2500W at 400V, packed into a 300mm tube. That 400V rating is a smart move: it keeps the current lower than a 230V option, so you get less voltage drop. That means you can run longer cables without having to oversize the wiring. Less hassle. More uptime.
Material & Design
The quartz envelope takes the heat—no problem—and handles sudden temperature shifts without cracking. Then there’s the ruby coating. It filters out visible light and pushes the output toward shortwave infrared. That’s the kind of heat that penetrates fast and warms things evenly. Inside, the halogen cycle keeps the filament clean, so the output stays steady over the life of the lamp. And the R7s base? It’s a double-ended linear connector that makes replacement a quick, clean job. It slips right in and locks down solid in the reflector.
Application & Benefits
These lamps shine in processes that need quick response and tight temperature control—think PET blowing, thermoforming, and adhesive curing. The shortwave output gets surfaces hot fast, which can cut cycle time. Here’s the trade-off: 2500W is dense, so the lamp throws off noticeable local heat. Make sure your machine’s cooling and shielding are sized for it. We designed this lamp to be straightforward to service in the field. Swap it out, realign the reflector, and you’re back running—without tearing apart the whole heater block.
