Introduction
We built this 650mm halogen infrared heat lamp for the kind of industrial heating where speed and focus matter. It runs on 240V at 1500W, giving you steady, predictable heat in a compact package. And that half-white coating? Not just for looks. It’s there to manage reflection and keep the heat where you want it.
Power, Voltage, and Size—What It Means on the Floor
At 1500W and 240V, it’s a straight-up resistive heat source that plugs cleanly into standard factory power. The 650mm length gives you more emitting surface than short-tube lamps, so you spread the heat over a bigger area without stacking units. That length-to-power balance is about two real-world needs: enough heat density to heat fast, and enough surface area to avoid hot spots that can hurt parts or stress nearby components. In practice, you get repeatable heating across the target, and you can design enclosures and reflectors with tight clearances.
Inside the Build: Halogen, Coating, and the Base
Inside, the halogen cycle keeps the filament stable even at high temps, which helps the output stay consistent over the lamp’s life. The quartz envelope handles rapid on/off cycling—exactly what you see on packaging lines and forming stations. The half-white coating reflects infrared back toward the work, boosting directional efficiency and shielding nearby fixtures from radiant heat. And the termination is an R7s base—tough, proven for linear lamps, and simple to wire into standard sockets.
Where It Shines—and Why It Works
This lamp is at home wherever you need fast, localized heating: plastic forming, adhesive curing, paint drying, and moisture removal. The 240V rating makes integration straightforward, and the 1500W output delivers the heat density you need when your process windows are short. Thanks to the half-white coating and the R7s base, it’s a clean drop-in upgrade on many existing fittings. One thing to keep in mind: that concentrated output means you need good ventilation and proper component spacing. Plan your enclosure cooling so the lamp runs within its thermal limits. We built it to take a beating on the line, and it’s rated for predictable performance in continuous duty.

The Straight Talk
High heat density is the whole point—but it also means surrounding components will run warmer. Size your cooling and clearances accordingly, or you’ll end up trading lamp life for peak output.
