220v 2000w Shortwave Halogen Infrared Lamps

May 3, 2026

Introduction

We built the 220V 2000W Shortwave Halogen Infrared Lamp for engineers who need serious heat—fast—without taking up a lot of room. This isn’t a general-purpose heater. It’s a focused thermal tool, built for industrial jobs where you need heat on demand: drying, pre-heating, forming—right where you need it.

Power, Voltage, and How It Feels to Use

The 220V 2000W rating is the practical part you’ll actually work with every day. At 2000W, you get a lot of heat packed into a small area, so the target surface heats up quickly. Shortwave infrared energy peaks in the near-infrared band, which means energy hits fast and gets absorbed well by many common industrial materials. That quick response is exactly why we spec it at 220V: it matches standard plant voltage in many places, so you can wire it in without reworking your power setup. The wattage and voltage together give you predictable heat input per unit area, which makes machine design and process control a lot simpler.

Built to Take It: Halogen Cycle and Quartz Construction

Inside, it’s a shortwave halogen design, sealed inside a quartz envelope. The halogen cycle helps keep the filament and the inside of the tube clean while it runs, so output stays steady and the lamp lasts longer than standard infrared lamps. Quartz handles the extreme filament temperatures and stands up to thermal shock, so you can cycle power on and off without worrying about cracks. We also use an R7s connector. It gives you solid mechanical hold and a reliable electrical connection—especially important in tight reflector setups. And if you’re swapping out an existing lamp, it’s a straightforward drop-in replacement, so you can get back online without a lot of downtime.

Where It Shines: Tight Spaces, Big Heat

This setup is ideal when you need high heat in a limited footprint—localized drying, pre-heating, thermoforming, and similar tasks. The shortwave spectrum delivers energy rapidly, and the compact size makes it easier to integrate into existing equipment. Now, here’s the reality check: packing 2000W into a short tube means serious heat density. Your fixture and nearby components need to be rated for that thermal load, and your control system should manage inrush current and temperature ramp rates. Match the lamp to the right voltage, make sure the fixture can handle the wattage, and you’ll get heating that’s predictable and repeatable.
