Short wave carbon fiber heating lamp

Short wave carbon fiber heating lamp

Introduction

We built this short-wave carbon fiber heating lamp for engineers who need serious infrared heat—precise, intense, and in a small footprint. If your work demands fast response and tight temperature control for line-of-sight heating, drying, or curing, this is the kind of tool that just gets on with the job.

What it’s really about

Here’s the core idea:power where you need it, when you need it. It runs on 400V, pulls 2500W, and packs all of that into a 300mm quartz tube. That’s a lot of watts in a short space. This isn’t a general-purpose heater. It’s built for focused, high-intensity energy—exactly when your process needs heat, right now. It ramps up fast. Then it settles into a steady output once the filament hits its sweet spot.

Inside the design

Inside, the carbon fiber filament runs hot—and clean. The halogen cycle helps keep the element stable, so you’re not chasing inconsistencies. The short-wave spectrum is key: it’s tuned for high absorption in many industrial materials, which means more of the heat actually goes to work, not wasted. The quartz envelope takes thermal shock in stride, and the coating helps shield it from the environment. And the R7s base? Simple, solid. Wire it up quickly and lock it into a reflector fixture without fuss.

Where it shines (and what to keep in mind)

Use this lamp when space is tight but heat demand is high: PET blowing preheat zones, coating curing, adhesive activation, plastic welding. It’s a straightforward drop-in replacement for existing IR modules, with the bonus of fast response and stable output. Now, with 2500W packed into a small footprint, you do need to plan for cooling and shielding. Keep airflow managed and make sure the reflector alignment is on point. Do that, and you’ll protect the lamp life and keep nearby components from getting too hot.
