carbon fiber IR heat lamp

Let’s talk about what this lamp actually does

Here’s the deal: we built these carbon fiber IR heat lamps for the places where space is tight and you absolutely can’t afford weak heat. We’re talking 400V and 2500W packed into a 300mm tube. That’s a lot of power in a small package. It gives you intense, focused heat right where you need it—without turning the whole machine shop into a sauna. The length is just right: short enough to squeeze into tight tooling, but long enough to deliver a steady, even glow. And it wakes up fast. Seriously fast. On a production line, that quick warm-up time is a real relief.

What’s inside, and why it matters

The halogen design keeps that filament running hot, so the output stays steady over the life of the lamp. The quartz envelope has a reflective coating that pushes the IR energy forward. Less wasted heat. Less worry about nearby parts getting fried. Carbon fiber beats standard glass when it comes to handling thermal shock and vibration. So when the machine slams through its cycles, this lamp doesn’t crack under pressure. And the R7s two-pin end-cap? It’s a familiar fit that makes wiring straightforward. Installation is basically a drop-in.

Where this shines—and what to keep in mind

These lamps are perfect when you need precise, fast heat in spots like PET blowing, thermoforming, and drying. The high power density helps you cut cycle times. But here’s the thing: packing 2500W into a 300mm tube means the area around the lamp gets warm. Plan for proper cooling. You get consistent output and a long service life, but if you’re running high-duty cycles, it’s smart to keep a spare on hand. If your process needs serious, controllable IR in a small footprint, this is the practical way to get the job done.
