Medium Wave Halogen Heating Lamps: Power, Specs, and Real-World Performance

We built these medium wave halogen heating lamps for the moments when your industrial process needs heat—fast. Think of them as the workhorses for jobs that demand quick, controllable infrared power, like keeping a PET blowing line humming or pre-heating molds without a hitch. They pack a lot of heat into a small footprint, and that’s exactly the point.

Power, Voltage, and Size—Plain Talk

We set these lamps at 400V and 2500W, all wrapped up in a 300mm quartz tube. That combination is about getting serious heat without taking up a lot of space. The 400V rating helps keep the current down, which means you can use smaller wiring and keep things tidy in those long control panels. The 2500W output in a 300mm length? It gives you a strong punch of heat without needing a bigger lamp. Just one thing: plan for cooling. That kind of power raises the heat inside the reflector chamber, so your machine’s airflow or heat sinking needs to be up to the task.

What’s Inside—and Why It Matters

Inside the quartz envelope, the halogen cycle keeps the filament temperature steady, so the output stays consistent over the life of the lamp. No surprises. The quartz tube is coated to focus the energy in the medium wave band. That’s what helps plastics and composites absorb the heat more efficiently. And we use an R7s base because it makes termination simple, secure, and reliable in industrial sockets. It’s a tough design, but it still needs a clean, dry home. If the surface gets contaminated, you’ll get hot spots—and that shortens the lamp’s life.

How It Feels on the Floor

In real life, these lamps are quick on their feet. They heat fast and respond almost instantly when you change the controls, so you can hit your cycle times without overshooting. The compact length and standard R7s interface make them an easy swap-in for existing IR heater banks. You get output you can count on, temperature control you can repeat, and maintenance that doesn’t feel like a headache. The catch is thermal load management. Match the lamp to your cooling and reflector setup, or you’ll end up chasing drift and uneven part quality. Get that right, and the whole process just feels smoother.
