shortwave infrared heating lamp 870mm 1700w clear halogen heat lamp

Introduction

We built this 870mm, 1700W shortwave infrared halogen heat lamp for the industrial jobs where you need heat, fast—and you need it to stay focused in a tight space. It’s all about hitting high temperatures quickly, with control that doesn’t feel fussy.

The Power, in Plain Terms

Here’s the deal: 1700W across 870mm gives you heat output you can plan around. That predictable punch makes your thermal design way less guesswork. The shortwave spectrum is the secret sauce. It sinks into many industrial materials fast, so you get rapid heating without wasting energy. In other words, you can pack serious heat into a small zone without having to build a giant enclosure.

Material & Design

We chose a clear quartz envelope because it can take extreme heat and stays clear in the SWIR band—so the lamp does its job without fighting its own light. The halogen cycle keeps the filament stable and helps prevent blackening over time. That means consistent output, shift after shift, without the slow fade. It’s fitted with an R7s base, so mounting is straightforward and the electrical contact stays solid. The whole design can handle repeated heating and cooling, but it still needs proper socket alignment and spacing to keep hot spots from forming.

Where It Shines (and What to Keep in Mind)

Use this lamp when you need rapid, localized heat—think adhesive curing, coating drying, and preheating components. The SWIR output couples well with many surfaces, so you get quick response and results you can repeat. Plus, the geometry makes it a simple drop-in upgrade in a lot of existing fixtures. Just one thing: that high power density needs real airflow and solid thermal management. Give your machine room to breathe, and your wiring and components will thank you.
