Carbon Fiber Infrared Heating Lamp: Power, Design, and Real-World Use

We built this carbon fiber infrared heating lamp for one reason: to deliver direct, no-nonsense heat where industrial work gets serious. It steps in when old-school ceramic or metal-sheath heaters just can’t keep up. Think fast response. Think intense heat packed into a small space. That’s the sweet spot here.

The Specs, Straight Up

These lamps usually run on 400V to hit serious wattage—often around 2500W—packed into a tube that’s only about 300mm long. That combo keeps the current manageable while throwing out concentrated radiant heat. It’s a tight fit, which is great when space is tight. But it also means the equipment nearby has to be ready for some focused heat.

What’s Inside: Halogen, Carbon, and an R7s Connection

Inside the quartz envelope, a carbon fiber filament works with a halogen cycle. The payoff? Output stays steady, and it holds up under repeated heating and cooling. No drama. An infrared coating helps focus the energy where you need it, so heat transfers faster to the target. And the R7s connector? It’s just a simple, two-ended mount. Wire it up, swap it out—no hassle. It’s a straightforward drop-in replacement when you need to get back online quickly.

Where It Shines—and What to Watch For

Use this lamp when you need heat, fast. PET blowing. Thermoforming. Curing adhesives. Drying coatings. The quick response means shorter cycle times, and the compact size makes it easier to fit into existing machines. But here’s the reality: high power density means you need proper cooling and shielding. Give nearby components some protection, and they’ll thank you.
