frosting white halogen bulb

We built this frosting white halogen bulb to be a compact powerhouse—a high-intensity infrared heater that gets the job done where space is tight and time matters. It’s for the moments when you need heat, fast, and you need it to be precise—think plastic processing, or upgrading older equipment without tearing things apart. Here’s the guts of it. These bulbs run at high voltage, often around 400V, and pack a lot of wattage into a short tube—about 300mm. That means serious power density, so the heat goes right where you need it. The high voltage also keeps the current lower, so your wiring stays simpler and the terminals on your machine don’t get stressed out. Why it stays reliable. The halogen chemistry does a neat trick: it helps keep the quartz envelope clean by regenerating the filament. In plain terms, that means steady, consistent output over the life of the bulb. Then there’s the white frosted coating, which spreads the infrared more evenly. No harsh hot spots that can hurt product or tooling. And the R7s base? It’s just a straightforward two-terminal connection that snaps into standard ceramic holders—no fuss. How it feels on the floor. It’s the kind of upgrade you can drop right in. You get more heat without redesigning reflectors or housings. The response is quick, so you hit your setpoints fast. But—and this matters—that much heat density means you need to plan for cooling and proper shielding. If you’re running long cycles, make sure your holder and wiring are rated for the wattage and continuous duty. Do that, and it just works. Quietly. Reliably. Like it was always meant to be there.
