We built this heater for one very specific job: getting heat right where you need it, in a tight spot, without all the racket of a fan-driven unit. It’s quiet because it’s built around a halogen infrared lamp. That lamp throws directional radiant heat—warming the actual target, not the air all around it. Power, voltage, and fit You can run it on 230V or 400V, whatever your plant is set up for. Higher voltage means lower current for the same wattage, so you can use smaller wiring and lose less voltage over distance. The tube is 300mm long and just 10mm in diameter. That compact size packs a lot of heat into a small footprint. You can match the wattage to what you’re heating and how quickly you need it warmed, so you get the heat you want without over-engineering the electrical run. What makes it hold up The halogen element keeps its output steady even when the filament runs hot, so performance stays consistent over the life of the tube. The quartz envelope handles sudden temperature shifts and stays clear—no haze. And the R7s connector? It’s a bi-pin, end-cap mount that locks the tube in fast and carries the current without extra terminations. If you already use standard R7s fixtures, this is a straight drop-in. Hook it up quickly and keep the whole assembly simple. Where it shines This is your go-to for spot heating that needs to stay quiet—think control panels, small drying tunnels, and enclosed workstations. Because it warms parts and surfaces directly, there’s no moving air to stir up dust. Just keep one thing in mind: high heat density means you need proper thermal management. Make sure the mounting surface and enclosure can shed heat properly, or you’ll shorten the life of the components.
