Good quality 1700w clear halogen heat lamp 870mm infrared quartz heat tube

Let’s talk about the 1700W Clear Halogen Quartz Tube

If you’re dealing with high-intensity thermal processing, you know that getting the heat exactly right is the hardest part. That’s why we built this 1700W infrared quartz tube. It’s 870mm long, which is the sweet spot for keeping your heat steady across a wide surface without any weird cold spots. The heat hits different. Since we use a clear quartz envelope, the short-wave infrared radiation doesn’t get trapped or reflected. It just goes straight through. The result? Your workpiece gets hit with heat instantly. No waiting around for the lamp to “warm up” the air—it just works. But here’s the clever bit: we added halogen gas inside. Usually, tungsten filaments evaporate and gunk up the inside of the glass, making the tube go dark and lose power. The halogen stops that from happening. It keeps the glass clear and the output steady for the long haul. Plus, the quartz is tough enough to handle being turned on and off rapidly without cracking from the thermal shock. A quick word of caution on the setup. You’re pushing 1700W here. That’s a lot of juice. Please, double-check your wiring and sockets. If your connections are loose or under-rated, you’re going to end up with burnt-out terminals, and that’s a headache nobody wants. These are designed as drop-in replacements for things like PET blowing machines, powder coating lines, and industrial drying ovens. Just a heads-up: the 870mm length is a hard spec. If your housing is even a couple of millimeters off, it simply won’t fit. One last thing. Because these clear tubes are so powerful, they can scorch your material if they’re too close. Take a minute to dial in your conveyor speed and the height of the lamp. We usually suggest using a PID controller to manage the duty cycle. It’ll keep your materials safe and make your filaments last a lot longer.
