240V 1600W Quartz Halogen IR Heat Lamp: The real-world details

We built this 240V, 1600W quartz halogen IR heat lamp for engineers who need heat they can count on—fast, intense, and in a small package. This isn’t a general-purpose light. It’s a focused heater, made for tight spots and tough, repeatable cycles.

Power, voltage, and output—straight to the point

At 1600W on 240V, it pulls about 6.7A. That keeps the current manageable on most industrial circuits. The payoff? High radiant power in a compact form. You get rapid temperature rise on the target, without wasting time heating the whole room. It’s fast. Really fast. Full output hits within seconds, so you can run short dwell times and tight timing without waiting around for a big enclosure to warm up.

What it’s made of—and why it matters

The quartz envelope handles the shock of quick on/off cycling and stays steady even at high filament temperatures. The halogen cycle helps keep the filament cleaner over time by putting evaporated tungsten back where it belongs. That means more stable output and a longer usable life than a standard incandescent. And the design leans hard into infrared. Most of the energy goes into heat, not visible light—so more of it lands on the part, where you need it. The R7s base is a practical choice for linear lamps. Current runs through both end pins, wiring end-to-end is straightforward, and it seats solidly in reflector fixtures. Out on the floor, it’s the kind of install you can repeat without drama.

Where it shines—and the trade-offs you should know

Use this where you need localized, controlled heat: preheating molds, drying coatings, curing adhesives, or holding process temperature in small zones. The concentrated heat is the upside, but it comes with a responsibility. Because the heat density is high, you’ve got to manage the surroundings. Give it clear clearance, keep reflector spacing right, and make sure ventilation is adequate. That keeps nearby wiring and plastic parts from getting too hot.

Drop-in replacement, without the headache

We designed this lamp to slot in as a replacement in many 1600W IR systems. Match the voltage, wattage, base, and length to what you already have, and you get consistent performance without reworking the whole heating station.
