Meet the 150mm 220V 500W SK15 Ruby Halogen Heat Lamp: Built for the Heat
We built this 150mm 220V 500W SK15 ruby halogen heat lamp for one reason: industrial heating jobs that demand serious, focused heat in a small package. This isn’t your everyday bulb. It’s a shortwave infrared emitter, designed to jump into action fast and give you tight control when the heat has to be exactly right.
Power, Voltage, and Size—Why It Matters
That 500W rating is the secret sauce. It packs a ton of heat density into a tiny footprint. Run it on 220V and it draws a steady current, so you can size your wiring and controls without guesswork. No oversizing, no surprises. The 150mm length keeps the heat right where you need it. Perfect for small parts, localized joints, or when you have to keep heat away from nearby components. Here’s the trade-off, though: 500W in a 150mm envelope means serious radiant intensity. That means your reflector and mounting hardware have to be up to the task. If your setup is tight, double-check airflow and clearance. Otherwise, the lamp will run hotter than you planned.
What’s Inside: Ruby Halogen and the SK15 Base
That ruby coating? It’s not just for looks. It filters out visible light and pushes the output into the near-infrared. That’s the kind of heat that plastics and coatings soak up more effectively. Then there’s the halogen cycle. It keeps the filament clean at high temps, so the lamp holds steady output over its life. No dimming early. Just consistent performance, day after day. And the SK15 base? It’s there for a reason. It locks in securely, gives you reliable electrical contact, and handles vibration and repeated installation without arcing or loosening. It’s the kind of detail that makes a difference when you’re wiring a machine and just want a replacement that drops in and works.
Where It Shines
Use this lamp when you need rapid heat-up and repeatable results. Think plastic welding, sealing films, curing small adhesive joints, or localized drying. The shortwave response delivers energy fast, and the compact size makes it easy to fit into existing tooling. Pair it with the right reflector and you’ll get a consistent heat pattern. Keep it within voltage and positioning limits, and you’ll get a long life out of it. If you want predictable heating without overhauling your whole heating block, this lamp is a practical, straightforward fit.
