Ruby Halogen Heating Lamps 254mm 240v 1300w

May 6, 2026

Introduction

We built the 254mm Ruby Halogen Heating Lamp for the kind of industrial heating work that needs serious heat—packed into a small space. It runs on 240V, hits 1300W, and gives you fast, focused infrared heat that you can count on when your process demands it.

Power, voltage, and size—why it matters

The 1300W rating on a 254mm tube isn’t random. It gives you a lot of watt density without forcing you to overbuild the rest of the system. At 240V, the current stays manageable, so you don’t have to go crazy with oversized cables and beefed-up contactors just to make it work. And the 254mm length? That’s a common footprint in industrial equipment. So in most setups, you can drop this lamp straight into existing reflector housings and oven zones without redesigning the whole thing.

What’s inside—and why it stays steady

Inside, the lamp runs on a halogen cycle within a quartz envelope. That helps keep the coil temperature stable and cuts down on blackening over time. In practice, that means the output stays steady—so your process stays repeatable, day after day. The ruby coating does a smart thing: it filters visible light and pushes the output into the near-infrared band. That heats surfaces directly, instead of wasting energy warming the air around the part. And the R7s bi-pin connector? It’s a workhorse in industrial settings. It locks in place, carries the current safely, and makes replacement quick when you need to swap a lamp on the line.

Where it shines—and what to watch for

This setup is made for high-temperature, localized heating—think plastic softening, sealing, curing, and component drying. The focused infrared hits the target fast, which helps keep cycle times tight. Plus, the 240V supply makes integration simpler, and the 254mm length fits standard holders without a fight. But here’s the reality check: packing 1300W into a short tube creates intense heat density. So your machine has to be set up to manage airflow and reflector placement, or you’ll risk overheating nearby components. If you need a drop-in replacement that delivers strong, controllable heat in a small zone, this lamp is a solid baseline—built for industrial duty, as long as your cooling and mounting match the heat load.
