Here’s the thing about factory halogen lamps—they’re built for one thing: getting serious heat where you need it, fast. We’re talking concentrated infrared energy, the kind that kicks in almost instantly when your process demands a hard, fast temperature spike. We stick with 1200mm, 1500W halogen tubes for a reason. They give you predictable, reliable heat, packed into a slim, straightforward shape that fits right into your setup without a fight. Power, voltage, and size—why it matters. A 1500W rating on a 1200mm tube means you get intense heat packed into a specific zone. It warms up quickly and lets you keep a tight grip on the temperature, which is exactly what you want in automated equipment. That 1200mm length? It gives you a clean, repeatable heating pattern. Perfect when you’re working with long parts or need to focus heat across multiple stations. And for wiring, these lamps run on 230V or 240V, so they pull a reasonable amount of current—no need to rewire the whole factory. What’s inside, and why it works. Inside, you’ve got the halogen element sealed in a quartz envelope. Quartz handles the shock of rapid on-off cycling without cracking, and it lets shortwave infrared energy pass through cleanly. The halogen cycle is the quiet hero here. It takes evaporated tungsten from the filament and puts it back where it belongs. That keeps the light output steady over the life of the lamp, so you’re not chasing inconsistencies. And the R7s base? It’s a double-ended connection that locks the tube in place at both ends. That means solid contact and solid stability—especially important when your machinery is humming and vibrating all day. Where these shine, and what to keep in mind. Need intense, controllable heat in a small footprint? That’s exactly where these lamps earn their keep. They’re great for heating plastic, curing coatings, activating adhesives, and pre-heating metal before forming. With 1500W power, 1200mm length, and the R7s mount, they slip right into many existing fixtures—easy swap, no fuss. Just one note: that high power density means you’ll want to plan for proper airflow or shielding. It helps manage reflected heat and keeps nearby components safe.
