Introduction
We built this medium wave carbon fiber lamp for one reason: to be a serious infrared heat source for serious industrial work. Forget about it being a light fixture. This is a tool—born for the shop floor. When your process needs heat fast, and you can’t afford to wait around, this lamp brings the heat, on demand.
Getting Under the Hood
Here’s the thing about the heat: it’s all in the wavelength. We went with a high-output medium wave infrared profile. Why? Because it doesn’t waste time warming up the air. It goes straight to the target, hitting the material and getting the job done. And the power? We spec’d it at 2500W, running on 400V. That combo is all about packing a punch. The 300mm tube concentrates all that energy into a tight spot, so you’re heating the exact zone you need—not the whole machine bay.
The Build
Let’s talk about what’s inside. The heating element isn’t a standard wire. It’s carbon fiber. That means it jumps to temperature quickly and can handle the shock of rapid heating cycles better than a traditional filament. That element sits inside a quartz tube, which lets the infrared energy pass through with almost no loss. We also filled it with halogen gas. This helps keep the element stable, so the lamp stays consistent over its life. And the connection? It’s a simple, two-pin R7s. It’s a standard fit that makes wiring straightforward. No fuss. Just a solid, secure connection you can trust—even when the machine is humming and vibrating.
Real-World Use
Think about a job like PET blowing. You need heat right now to soften the preform, and you need it precisely where you want it. The medium wave output hits that target instantly. The result? Shorter cycle times and more control over the whole process. Because the heat is so focused, you can keep your machine footprint smaller. But packing that much power into a 300mm tube means the surrounding equipment needs to be able to breathe. Make sure you plan for proper heat dissipation so everything runs reliably, day after day. This is for engineers who need a heat source they can count on—one that’s direct, tough, and ready to work.
