Infrared Heat: The Lowdown on Carbon Fiber Lamps

Here’s the thing about these carbon fiber lamps: we built them to be straight-up workhorses. They’re all about getting heat where you need it, right when you need it, without dragging a giant oven along for the ride.

Power, Voltage, and the Physical Reality

These things are seriously compact. We’re talking a 300mm tube that punches way above its weight. A 400V, 2500W rating means this thing gets hot, fast. Really fast. But that power comes with a price. You’ve got to make sure your electrical setup can handle the jolt when it kicks on. That inrush current is real, so your control gear needs to be up to the task. And that 300mm length? It’s intentional. It’s the perfect size for slipping into tight spots where a longer heater just wouldn’t fit.

The Inside Story: Materials and Design

The heart of the lamp is the carbon fiber filament, tucked away inside a quartz envelope. It’s often halogen-filled, which helps keep the filament stable even when the heat is cranked up. The result? A lamp that resists burning out and keeps putting out consistent heat for the long haul. Then there’s the R7s base—a standard, double-ended connector. It gives you a solid, high-temp connection that’s both mechanically and electrically sound. And when it’s time for a replacement? It’s a breeze. Wire it up, clamp it down, and it stays put, no matter how rough the environment gets.

Where They Shine (And What to Watch For)

These lamps are killer for focused jobs. Think PET blowing, plastic welding, or curing. The infrared heat zeroes in on the material itself, getting the job done without turning the whole room into a sauna. But here’s the catch: thermal management. That high power density means your machine’s cooling system has to be ready to roll. It can handle the extra ambient heat. Treat this thing like the high-output tool it is—it’s not just some casual heater you throw in anywhere.
