Introduction

We make halogen UV lamps that are basically tiny powerhouses. They’re built for the folks on the factory floor—engineers who need serious heat in a super specific spot, and have zero room for a bulky heater. Think about those tight spots on a production line, like when you’re blowing PET, thermoforming, or curing something. That’s where these lamps step in.

Let’s Talk Power: What Makes Them Tick

Here’s the deal. These lamps run on short-wave infrared. They’re designed to pack a serious punch—think up to 2500 watts of power—into a tube that’s only about 300mm long. And they do it on high voltage, often around 400V. That kind of power density means they get hot fast. Seriously fast. And they respond instantly. But with that kind of energy packed into a small frame, you’ve got to make sure your electrical setup and mounting hardware are up to the task. You’re getting a small footprint with a lot of heat, so you’ll need to plan your clearances and cooling.

The Inside Story: What They’re Made Of

The tube itself is quartz. It’s the perfect choice because it can handle extreme temperatures and won’t crack when things heat up or cool down quickly. Inside, the halogen chemistry keeps the element stable and working reliably. We also add a UV-blocking coating. It protects the material you’re working on, and keeps your operators safe from direct UV exposure, all without sacrificing the heat output. And the connector? It’s a simple, sturdy R7s type. It makes swapping out a lamp a breeze. Just line it up, seat it, and wire it in. It’s a straight-forward, drop-in replacement for a lot of machines.

Where They Shine (And What to Watch For)

On the floor, these lamps are the go-to when you need to heat one small area fast, without turning the whole machine bay into a sauna. You’ll see them a lot in PET blowing and plastic forming because they deliver consistent heat, right when you need it. Just keep in mind, that concentrated power comes with a trade-off. You’ve got to manage the heat load. That high power in a small package means you need solid cooling and proper shielding to keep everything else around it safe.
