A Quick Guide to Our 362mm 800W Halogen Lamps
We built these lamps for one reason: to get a massive amount of infrared heat into a very small space. At 800W, these things don’t mess around. If your process needs to heat up almost instantly, this is the tool for the job. The Fit and the Power The 362mm length isn’t an accident. We designed it specifically for those tight oven setups where every millimeter counts and you can’t afford any cold spots in your heating line. Because we’re pushing 800W through a relatively short tube, that filament is working hard. It gets incredibly hot to make sure the heat actually transfers to your product. Just a heads-up: keep your power supply steady. If you get a bunch of voltage spikes, you’ll fry the filament way sooner than you should. The Secret Sauce: Quartz and Halogen We use high-purity quartz glass to keep everything contained. Inside, there’s a halogen cycle happening. Basically, it takes the tungsten that evaporates off the filament and puts it right back where it belongs. This does two things. First, it keeps the glass from turning black and gross. Second, it lets us run the lamp much hotter than your average lightbulb without the whole thing just snapping. These usually come with standard industrial end-caps, so wiring them in is a breeze. But here is the most important part:**do not touch the glass with your bare hands.**Seriously. The oils from your skin create these tiny hot spots. Once the lamp hits full temp, those spots can cause the glass to crack. Use a glove or a clean cloth. The Reality Check These lamps are absolute workhorses for things like PET blowing and plastic curing. They hit the target temperature fast. But there’s a trade-off. 800W of concentrated heat creates a lot of ambient warmth. If your cooling fans aren’t up to the task, you might find your wire insulation melting or your brackets warping. Before you swap these in, just take a second to check your airflow. It’ll save you a massive headache later.
