380mm 1000W Short Wave Clear Halogen Heating Lamps: Specs and Applications
We built this 380mm, 1000W short wave clear halogen heating lamp for engineers who need heat—fast—and in tight spots. It’s the kind of tool you reach for when you need serious, focused power without blowing up the whole system just to get it.
Power, Voltage, and Size—What It Actually Feels Like
At 1000W, this lamp delivers a concentrated blast of infrared heat, all packed into a compact body. The 380mm length keeps the heat right where you need it, so you can run high heat even when space is at a premium. It warms up quickly. And it reacts fast when you change the setpoint. If you’re running short cycle times, that responsiveness isn’t just convenient—it’s a relief.
The Build: Quartz, Halogen Cycle, and a Mount That Just Works
The envelope is clear quartz, chosen because it handles high heat without blinking and shrugs off thermal shock. Inside, the halogen cycle keeps the filament stable, so you don’t get that early blackening that kills output over time. The light stays consistent through the life of the lamp. The short wave spectrum means strong infrared emission—so energy transfers to the target fast. And the R7s base? It’s straightforward. Wire it, align it, clamp it. No drama.
Where It Shines—And the One Thing to Keep in Mind
This lamp is ideal when you need intense, controllable heat in a small footprint—plastic processing, adhesive curing, component drying. It’s designed to drop in as a replacement for existing 380mm halogen heaters, so swapping it out is simple. Just one note: that high power density is powerful, and it means you need proper thermal management in the fixture. Keep nearby components from getting cooked by planning for heat control up front.
