285mm 300w halogen infrared heat lamp

Introduction

We built this 285mm, 300W halogen infrared heat lamp for one reason: to give you a heater that just works. It’s for engineers who need a compact, direct-radiant heat source that gets wired up quickly, holds its output steady, and slips into tight spots without forcing you to redesign the whole machine.

Power, Voltage, and Size—Kept Simple

The 285mm length and 300W rating aren’t random. They’re a deliberate match. That size gives you enough radiant surface to spread the heat evenly, without needing extra clearance. And because it runs on 230V, it plugs right into standard plant power—no voltage step-up, no extra headaches. You get heat that’s predictable. 300W focused on a small zone is enough to push heating cycles fast, but the wattage stays low enough that your control wiring and switchgear stay straightforward.

Built to Stay Tough: Halogen, Quartz, and the R7s Base

Inside, the halogen cycle keeps the filament stable. That means the filament stays hot, the bulb stays clear, and the output stays consistent over the lamp’s life. The quartz envelope handles high heat and shrugs off thermal shock when the lamp cycles on and off. And the R7s connector? Practical choice. It locks in securely with two terminals, and it’s common across industrial heating fixtures—so replacement is a simple drop-in.

Where It Shines—And What to Watch For

Use this lamp wherever you need localized, line-of-sight heating: preheating components, drying surfaces, curing coatings, or supporting plastics processing when you need rapid surface heating. The upside is immediate: fast response, a small footprint, and an install that doesn’t fight you. But here’s the part you need to plan for—concentrated infrared energy means reflectors and shielding have to be properly chosen. That keeps nearby materials safe and keeps operator exposure within safe limits.
