650mm 240V 1500W Halogen Infrared Heat Lamp: Specs, Design, and How It Gets the Job Done

We built this 650mm halogen infrared heat lamp to be a compact powerhouse—the kind of heater you can count on when you need serious heat in a tight spot. It runs on 240V at 1500W, which packs a lot of punch into a small footprint. And the 650mm length? It’s just right—long enough to spread the warmth evenly, but short enough to slip into those cramped machine bays without a fight.

Power, Voltage, and Size—Why It Matters

At 1500W on 240V, the current draw is predictable, so wiring and choosing the right contacts for your machine is straightforward. No second-guessing. The 650mm tube focuses heat where you need it, so you get quick temperature response without turning the whole area into a sauna. This is direct-radiant heat, by the way—energy travels as infrared and warms the target directly, not the air around it. That’s a big deal on a production line where every second counts.

Inside the Design: Halogen, Shortwave, Quartz, and SK15

The shortwave halogen setup keeps the filament hot, pushing peak output into the near-infrared band. That’s the sweet spot for fast, efficient heating. The quartz envelope handles rapid on/off cycles without cracking under thermal shock, and it stays clear enough to deliver consistent radiation every time. And the SK15 end-cap? It makes this lamp a drop-in replacement in compatible fixtures. You get solid contact retention that holds steady even when things get shaky.

Where It Shines—and What to Keep in Mind

Use this lamp whenever you need fast, focused heat on moving parts or components. Curing, drying, thermoforming, preheating plastics—this is right in its wheelhouse. The heat density is a real advantage, but it also means you need to plan the reflector and mounting to manage re-radiated heat. Give surrounding equipment enough clearance and make sure it has room to breathe.
