Introduction
We built the R7S infrared halogen quartz heating lamp for engineers who need serious heat—without taking up a ton of space. It’s a 1000W, 235V lamp, born for industrial jobs where speed and focused output are everything. And with the R7S base, it slides right into many existing fixtures. No hassle. Just swap it in and get back to work.
Power, Voltage, and Output
At 1000W, this lamp brings predictable heat you can match to your process—think thermoformers, laminators, drying lines. The 235V rating helps lower the current draw, so wiring runs stay cooler and you get less voltage drop over distance. It delivers short-wave infrared, which means energy hits surfaces fast, without wasting time heating up the air around them. You get direct heat, right where you need it, the moment you flip the switch.
What It’s Made Of
Inside, the halogen cycle keeps the filament stable by putting evaporated tungsten back where it belongs. That helps the lamp last longer and keeps output steady. The quartz envelope handles the high filament temps and stands up to thermal shock, so you can cycle it on and off without worrying about cracks. And the R7S connector? It’s a double-ended linear base that locks in place, making installation and replacement straightforward—even when you’re out there on the shop floor.
Where It Shines
This setup is for the tight spaces where the heat demand is high. You’ll see it used for plastic softening, edge heating, adhesive activation, and component drying. The combo of short-wave infrared, tough quartz, and the R7S base gives you a heat source that’s rugged, easy to service, and quick to swap out.
A Quick Reality Check
Here’s the trade-off: packing 1000W into a linear lamp creates a lot of heat density. Your fixture and reflector need proper ventilation, and any nearby materials should be rated for the surface temperatures you’re dealing with. Plan your machine’s cooling and clearances accordingly.
