Introduction
We build the 980mm 2000W halogen lamp as a direct-fit industrial heater, not a general-purpose light. It is engineered for machines that need concentrated infrared output in a compact footprint. If you are running a line where parts must heat quickly and consistently, this lamp specs out as a straightforward, drop-in heat source.
Technical Deep-Dive: Power, Voltage, and Dimensions
The 2000W rating is chosen to deliver high heat density over a defined zone. In practice, that means you can achieve fast temperature rise on targets without having to redesign the entire heating chamber. The 980mm overall length gives you a long, uniform heating window, which helps when the heated surface is wide or when the part moves through the zone continuously. Electrically, these lamps are typically offered in standard voltage options, commonly 230V or 240V, depending on the wholesale configuration. Matching the lamp voltage to the machine’s control gear is not optional—mis-speccing it will change current draw and shorten element life. The power density also creates a thermal load on the reflector, socket, and wiring. You need adequate clearance and cooling, especially in enclosed fixtures.
Material & Design: Halogen Cycle, Quartz Tube, and Connectors
The lamp uses a halogen cycle inside a quartz envelope. The key engineering payoff is stable output over the life of the lamp. In a standard incandescent design, tungsten deposits on the wall and the tube blackens. The halogen cycle keeps the tungsten in circulation, so the tube stays cleaner and the temperature stays more consistent. The quartz tube is selected because it handles high operating temperatures and has strong transmission in the near-infrared range. That is exactly what you want when the job is heating, not lighting. For termination, the R7s bi-pin connector is the standard for double-ended linear lamps. It gives you a secure, aligned mount and repeatable contact resistance. It also simplifies replacement—swap the lamp, re-lamp, and get back online without rewiring the fixture.
Application & Benefits: Where This Configuration Wins
This 980mm 2000W halogen lamp is most often applied in industrial heating and forming where speed matters. Typical uses include plastic heating, pre-heating of molds, drying, and curing. The combination of length and wattage lets you cover a larger area while still hitting the temperature setpoint quickly. For engineers, the benefit is predictable integration. The lamp fits standard holders, the output profile is repeatable, and the form factor is easy to mount in existing equipment. The trade-off is straightforward: 2000W is a lot of heat in a tight space. You must design the fixture for airflow and thermal management, and you must use the correct voltage match. When you get those details right, you get a reliable, maintainable heating system that keeps the line moving.
