Introduction
We built this 280V, 1250W, 350mm halogen infrared heating lamp for the tight spots—the industrial jobs where you can’t afford to compromise on power, even when space is at a premium. It’s the kind of heat source that slips right in and gets straight to work, delivering fast, focused energy without forcing you to redesign the whole machine.
What Makes It Tick
Here’s the thing: it runs on 280V, which lines up with the standard power setup in most industrial spaces. That means it pulls less current than a 120V version would, and you don’t have to worry about voltage dipping over longer cable runs. At 1250W, the heat output is steady and predictable—just enough to match your process window without pushing your system to its limits. And the 350mm length? It gives you a tight, usable hot zone. Enough to cover the spot you need, without making you rework the reflector cavity.
The Build
The halogen infrared element keeps the filament running hotter, so more of the energy stays in the infrared band. That’s the kind of heat that penetrates fast—right where you need it—instead of just warming the air around it. The quartz envelope handles the shock of repeated on/off cycles without blinking, keeping performance consistent over time. And the R7s base? It’s a standard double-ended connector, so you can drop this lamp straight into any existing R7s socket. No hassle, no rewiring.
Where It Shines
Use it when you need heat, fast, and in one spot. Think plastic forming, sealing, curing, pre-heating stations—anywhere that demands quick, repeatable heat in a compact footprint. You get predictable power, right where you want it. But there’s a trade-off: that concentrated power means you need to keep the reflector aligned properly and make sure your machine has enough ventilation. Otherwise, nearby parts can start to feel the heat.
