Why These Specs Actually Matter
We chose 230V and 1000W for these 665mm halogen lamps for a very practical reason: you need serious heating power in a small space. The 1000W hits hard and heats up fast—perfect for tight spots. The 230V keeps the current draw reasonable, so it plays nice with standard plant wiring. And that 665mm length? Not random at all. It’s the exact size that fits legacy equipment, so you can swap it in and get back to work—no fiddling with the fixture or reflector.
What’s Inside—and Why It Stays Consistent
Inside, the halogen cycle inside the quartz envelope keeps output steady over the life of the lamp. No more dimming as time goes on, like you get with standard incandescent bulbs. That design lets the filament run hotter, so you get stable, high-intensity infrared heat. The R7s base gives a solid, two-ended connection that handles the quartz tube’s thermal expansion and keeps contact resistance low. When you wire it up as intended, you feel the difference—tighter temperature control.
Where It Shines—and What to Keep an Eye On
These lamps are made for process heating: plastic softening, sealing, pre-heating. You get fast response and a compact footprint—power where you need it, when you need it. But there’s a trade-off. Packing 1000W into a 665mm tube means you need to get reflector alignment right and manage airflow. If the surrounding equipment can’t shed that heat, the lamp—and nearby parts—will run hotter, and service life drops. So plan your mounting and cooling up front.
