Introduction
We built this 500W halogen lamp for industrial heating—the kind of work where you need heat you can count on, packed into a tight space. Think of it as a direct swap for the heating heart of your machine. It gets up to temperature fast, holds steady, and doesn’t demand a giant footprint.
Why 500W Makes Sense
Here’s the thing: 500W isn’t random. It’s the sweet spot—enough power to deliver repeatable heat without straining your electrical setup. It shines when you need focused warmth: pre-heating a spot, drying a part, or simply holding a set temperature. And because the wattage is matched to the size, it slips into snug reflector housings without forcing you to rework brackets or geometry.

Halogen technology keeps the filament stable by running hotter. That means less blackening and a longer, more consistent life. The quartz envelope handles the shock of rapid on/off cycles—no drama when you switch it on and off. Inside, the halogen gas chemistry protects the filament so it doesn’t degrade quickly. And we chose an R7s connector because it’s straightforward: solid two-contact termination you can wire up quickly and service without hunting down special tools.
Where It Shines—And What To Watch For
Use this lamp when you need serious heat in a small footprint. It fires up fast, holds temperature well, and installs as a clean drop-in replacement. But keep in mind: concentrated heat needs proper airflow and shielding. Match the lamp to your machine’s cooling and clearance specs, and you’ll get steady heating with fewer interruptions.
