Halogen Quartz Jacket Infrared Ruby Heat Lamp: Power That Fits in a Small Space

We built this heat lamp for the spots on the factory floor where you’re short on room but long on the need for speed. It’s a shortwave infrared emitter, designed to blast quick, focused heat right where you need it—think plastic preforms, films, or the surface of a component that needs to come up to temperature fast.

What’s under the hood

This thing runs hot, in a small footprint. We’re talking 2500W at 400V, packed into a 300mm tube. That combo gives you serious heat density, so you get rapid ramp-up and high intensity without needing a giant enclosure. And the 400V rating? It’s a smart move. It drops the current for the same wattage, which means you can use smaller wiring and avoid voltage drop over longer runs. The 300mm length keeps the heating zone tight, so your process window stays controlled and repeatable—especially on automated lines.

Why the ruby tint isn’t just for looks

That ruby-tinted quartz jacket does real work. It filters out visible light while letting shortwave infrared through, so you get more usable radiant energy and less glare in the work area. Inside, the halogen cycle keeps the filament clean at high temperatures. The payoff? More stable output over the life of the lamp, and less worry about sudden burn-outs from repeated heating and cooling cycles. And the R7s double-ended connector is a classic for a reason. It holds firm, keeps alignment consistent, and makes wiring straightforward.

On the shop floor, where it matters

If you’re replacing an aging infrared heating zone, this lamp drops right in. It brings fast, controllable heat to jobs like PET preheat, plastic forming, coating drying, and curing. You get quick start-up, stable temperature control, and a footprint that doesn’t fight for space. Just keep one thing in mind: with 2500W of output, heat density is real. Make sure your cooling and mounting are sized properly, and that the surrounding components are shielded. Otherwise, the heat can do a number on nearby parts. Plan for it, and this lamp just works.
