Halogen Elegant Tube: The Infrared Powerhouse for Tight Spaces
We built the Halogen Elegant Tube for one simple reason: to give you serious heating power in a ridiculously compact package. It’s the kind of heat source you install when you need to swap out an old heater and get things moving fast—without redesigning your whole machine.
What Makes It Tick
At the heart of this tube is a shortwave infrared halogen element, and it runs on high voltage—often around 400V. That’s how we pack so much punch into such a small space. You’re looking at up to 2500 watts of power squeezed into just 300mm of tube. What does that mean for you? It means you can focus all that heat on a tiny target area without turning your entire workshop into a sauna. The hotter the filament, the quicker it heats up, and the tighter control you get over your temperature. It’s fast. Really fast. And that changes everything when you’re running a high-speed line.
Built to Last, Built to Work
We wrapped this thing in quartz for a reason. Quartz handles the shock of going from cold to red-hot, over and over again, without cracking. It also lets the infrared light pass through cleanly, so you’re not wasting energy. Inside, the halogen cycle keeps the filament stable, which means less blackening and steady output over time. No surprises. Just consistent performance. And we made the hookup dead simple. The R7s connector gives you a clean, two-terminal setup that wires right into what you already have. No fuss. The profile? Sleek and slim. It slips easily into tight mounting channels and works perfectly with compact reflectors. That’s where the “elegant” part comes in—it’s a workhorse that doesn’t take up a ton of room.
Where It Shines
This tube is your go-to when you need heat, and you need it right now—in one specific spot. Think plastic sealing, adhesive curing, drying coatings, or forming small parts. The shortwave infrared cuts right through, speeding up your cycle time. But here’s the thing—that kind of focused power generates a lot of heat. So your surrounding components and machine enclosure need to be ready for it. You’ll need proper mounting distance and airflow to keep everything from the lamp to the nearby electronics from overheating. Get that right, and you’ve got a system that runs cool, calm, and collected.
