Medium wave heat lamps 500mm 700w infrared carbon heating lamp

June 9, 2026

Introduction

Picture this: you’re on the line, and you need heat that’s precise. No guesswork. No overshoot. That’s exactly why we built this 500mm, 700W medium wave infrared carbon heat lamp. It’s for engineers who need heat profiles they can count on, day after day.

The Heart of the Matter

Here’s the thing: packing 700W into a 500mm tube gives you heat that’s predictable along the whole length. Medium wave strikes a sweet spot. It warms up faster than longwave, but it’s gentler than shortwave—less glare, fewer hot peaks. That makes it ideal for parts and materials that take surface heating well, but would get damaged by intense, focused energy. And you won’t have to rewire the whole plant. It runs on standard industrial voltages, so you can plug it in and get to work. The wattage and length together define your heated zone, so you can match the lamp to the part and the pace of your process.

What It’s Made Of

Carbon filament elements keep resistance stable, so the infrared output stays consistent over time. The quartz envelope handles the heat and shrugs off thermal shock—a big deal when the lamp cycles on and off. A reflector coating pushes energy forward, cutting waste heat and keeping the heat profile repeatable right where you need it. The R7s base is compact, two-pin, and proven. It lines up fast and holds steady, even with vibration. If you’ve got existing fixtures, this is a straightforward drop-in. Changeover is quick. Maintenance stays simple.

Where It Shines

Need fast, focused heating in a tight space? This lamp shines for adhesive curing, coating drying, and preheating components. The medium wave band heats surfaces efficiently, so you can shorten cycle times without going full-blast like shortwave. But there’s a trade-off to keep in mind: packing 700W into 500mm creates serious local heat. Your fixture and nearby parts need to be rated for the temperature. You might need airflow or shielding to protect sensors and sensitive materials. Plan your mounting distance and duty cycle up front, and you’ll get repeatable performance that you can trust.
