A Quick Guide to Our 320mm 1000W Tungsten Halogen Lamps
If you need heat—and you need it now—these are your go-to. We built these 320mm lamps specifically for industrial setups where waiting for a heater to warm up just isn’t an option. They pull 1000W at 220VAC, giving you a ton of concentrated heat in a really small space. The nuts and bolts of the power Packing 1000W into a 320mm tube creates some serious heat density. To keep the lamp from burning itself out, we use a tungsten filament wrapped in a halogen gas mix. Here’s the clever part: the halogen cycle actually puts the tungsten back onto the filament as it works. It keeps the heat steady and stops the bulb from dying prematurely. Just a heads-up—make sure your power supply can handle that initial “kick” of current when you first flip the switch. What they’re made of We used a quartz envelope because it can take the heat without warping or twisting. Since they’re 220V, they fit right into most standard industrial single-phase power setups. You won’t have to mess around with bulky transformers; you just wire them in and go. Because of that internal gas pressure, these run much hotter than your average light bulb. Where to use them (and what to watch out for) You’ll mostly see these in things like PET blowing machines, curing ovens, or drying tunnels. They blast out short-wave infrared radiation, which is great because it sinks into materials fast. But there’s a catch. **Do not touch the glass with your bare hands.**Seriously. The oils from your skin create these tiny hot spots on the quartz. Once the lamp heats up, those spots can cause the tube to crack or just pop. Grab some lint-free gloves before you install them. One last thing: these things get incredibly hot. Double-check your reflector geometry. If the heat isn’t aimed exactly where it needs to be, you might accidentally bake your own machine chassis.
