29.5-inch 1000W Carbon Heating Element: Built for Serious Infrared Heat

We built this 29.5-inch, 1000W carbon heating element for engineers who need serious heat—fast—without taking up a ton of space. It’s the kind of upgrade you install when you’re replacing older halogen or quartz tube systems and you want that quick response and high watt density without the headache.

Power that fits

At 29.5 inches and 1000W, this element packs a lot of punch into a compact footprint. You get strong heat output that still fits neatly into standard machine bays and heating tunnels. It runs on standard line voltages and draws a steady current, so the power side of things stays simple. Here’s how it works in plain terms: the carbon filament resists the current, and that resistance turns into infrared radiation—heating your target directly, without a lot of fuss.

The material choices that matter

Carbon filaments run hotter and more evenly than a lot of metal-sheath options, and that gives you a clean, consistent infrared spectrum that gets right to work. It penetrates surfaces quickly, so you spend less time waiting and more time producing. The quartz envelope is built to handle thermal shock, so it stays stable even when you’re cycling the heat on and off fast. And for installation, we use R7s bi-pin connectors. They give you solid contact, quick lamp swaps, and dependable alignment. The best part? It’s a drop-in replacement for many R7s-based heaters, so you can upgrade without rewiring the whole fixture.

Where it shines—and what to keep in mind

This element is a natural fit for plastics processing, coating curing, and industrial drying—jobs where you need a rapid ramp-up and temperature control you can trust. That high watt density means fast response, no question. But it also means your fixture needs to be ready for the heat. Make sure your reflector, airflow, and mounting hardware are rated for the temperature and spacing. In the real world, this thing takes a beating. Keep the clearances right and the cooling in place, and it keeps running without giving up early.
