Let’s talk about the 350mm 1500W Ruby Halogen Lamp
If you’re looking for some serious heat, this is where you start. We built these lamps for high-intensity infrared work. They use a quartz tube with a ruby-red coating that does a specific job: it filters the light so the heat goes straight into your material instead of just warming up the air around it. It’s all about the speed. Packing 1500W into a 350mm tube creates a lot of concentrated energy. What that means for you is a much faster ramp-up time. You aren’t sitting around waiting for things to get hot. If you’re running PET blowing or shrink-wrapping lines, these usually slide right in as a replacement. They’re perfect for those setups where every second of the cycle counts. Why the red color? The ruby coating isn’t just for looks. It actually shifts the energy so it hits the material’s “sweet spot” for absorption. Inside, we use a halogen cycle. It stops the tungsten filament from gunking up the quartz walls, which keeps the light clear and helps the lamp last longer. Just a heads-up: keep an eye on your voltage. If you don’t regulate it, you’ll fry the filaments way sooner than you should. A few tips for the install Wiring these is pretty straightforward—standard industrial sockets do the trick, and the 350mm size fits most modular ovens. But here’s the thing: because so much power is packed into such a small space, it getsintense. You’ll want to make sure your cooling fans and heat shields are up to the task. Also, keep your reflectors clean and aligned. If they’re dirty, you’ll get hot spots on your product, which is a headache nobody wants. And for goodness’ sake, keep the quartz clean. A little bit of grime can lead to thermal shock, and that’s a quick way to crack a tube.
