The 1550W Halogen Heat Lamp: Industrial Power in a Compact Package

Let’s talk about a workhorse. The 1550W halogen heat lamp was built for those industrial jobs where space is at a premium, but you still need serious, focused heat. This isn’t your average bulb. It’s a precision tool—an infrared radiator designed to put the heat exactly where you point it.

The Power Behind the Heat

Here’s the thing about its 1550W rating: it packs a serious punch in a small space. It runs on a standard 230V or 240V circuit, pulling a steady 6.5A to 6.75A. That’s a lot of current, so you need to make sure your wiring and control systems are built to handle that kind of continuous workload. The lamp itself is about 300mm long and just 10mm wide. That slim profile means it slides right into tight spots, perfect for focused heating zones or snug reflector assemblies.

Built to Last

Inside, you’ve got a quartz envelope protecting a halogen filament. Quartz is tough—it can handle the extreme heat and doesn’t break down chemically. The halogen cycle is the secret sauce. It keeps the filament clean, which means a longer life and consistent heat output, day in and day out. And for installation? It couldn’t be easier. We’ve fitted it with an R7s connector, a double-ended design that makes it a simple drop-in replacement for existing fixtures.

Where It Shines (And What to Watch For)

This lamp really shines when you need to get the job done fast. Think plastic shrink-wrapping, drying out components, or curing finishes. The concentrated infrared heat blasts surfaces without even touching them. But with that kind of power comes responsibility. This thing runs hot. You absolutely need proper airflow in the fixture. If you cram it into a tight space with no ventilation, you’re just asking for the lamp to burn out prematurely. Give it room to breathe, and it’ll reward you with reliable performance.
