carbon fiber far infrared heat lamp 500mm

Introduction

We built this 500mm carbon fiber far infrared heat lamp for engineers who need serious, focused heat—right where they need it—in tight machine spaces. It’s all about line-of-sight heating on production gear, where speed matters and the heat has to stay steady, shift after shift.

What makes the 500mm length matter

That 500mm length? It wasn’t picked by accident. It gives you a good amount of radiating surface while still staying compact enough to slip into existing reflectors and enclosures. No housing redesign. No headaches. And the output is tuned for far infrared, which just gets along better with polymers, coatings, and pre-heated surfaces. You end up with heat that lands predictably where you want it, instead of spilling into the air and wasting energy.

Material and design, in plain terms

Carbon fiber elements handle rapid heating and cooling cycles way better than old-school wire coils. They keep resistance steady over time, so the lamp holds its temperature profile without drifting between shifts. We chose far infrared because it penetrates surface films and heats more evenly through the core. That means fewer hot spots when you start up. Installation is meant to be easy, too—this lamp drops right into standard fixtures. So you can replace what you have without reworking the whole line.

Where it shines—and what to keep in mind

Use it when you need heat that comes on fast and repeats reliably: plastic forming, adhesive curing, component drying. The carbon fiber build is built for long life, even when the machine runs continuously, and the far infrared output delivers direct energy transfer for quicker cycles. One thing to note: with that high heat density, make sure your machine cooling and shielding are properly set up. That way, ambient temperature stays controlled and your components stay protected.
