Let’s talk about the 930mm 1500W Halogen Lamp
If you’re dealing with heavy thermal loads, you need something that doesn’t just “warm up” but actually hits hard and fast. That’s where this 1500W shortwave infrared emitter comes in. Inside that quartz tube, there’s a tungsten filament swimming in a halogen gas mix. It sounds like a chemistry project, but here’s why it matters: the gas stops the filament from evaporating. This means you can crank the heat way higher than a standard IR lamp without killing the tube in a week. The size and the power At 930mm long, this thing is built for the big jobs—think wide-web processing or heating up large PET preforms. Since the 1500W is spread across nearly a meter, you don’t have to worry about those nasty “hot spots” that usually happen with shorter, high-wattage bulbs. Just a heads-up: double-check your power supply. Whether you’re running 230V or 400V, getting the voltage right is the only way to make sure you aren’t burning through lamps prematurely. A few tips on the quartz The quartz glass is pretty clever. It lets the shortwave radiation fly straight through to your material instead of soaking up the heat itself. It’s incredibly fast. But here is the catch:keep it clean. If you’re working in a dusty shop, wipe it down. Even a few fingerprints or a smudge of oil can cause the glass to overheat in one spot. And when that happens? The envelope cracks. Simple as that. Putting it all together Most of the time, these are just drop-in replacements for your existing oven banks. You’ll want to hook them up to a PID controller so you can actually dial in your temperature zones. One last thing. 1500W puts out a lot of heat, and a good bit of that lingers around the ends of the lamp. Make sure your housing has plenty of breathing room. If your cooling fans quit, the heat soak will fry the connectors and kill the lamp. Keep it cool, keep it clean, and it’ll do the heavy lifting for you.
