Let’s talk about 1000W Carbon Fiber Heating
If you need heat—and you need it now—these 1000W carbon fiber lamps are your best bet. We built these for the kind of jobs where waiting for a heater to warm up just isn’t an option. Unlike those old-school metal elements that take their sweet time, these use a carbon fiber filament tucked inside a quartz tube. The result? They hit operating temperature almost the second you flip the switch. It’s fast. Really fast. A word of caution on the power side. Since these pack a massive punch in a small package, the heat is incredibly concentrated. Here is the thing: when you wire a whole bank of these together, your power load can spike. You’ll want to make sure your power supplies and contactors can handle that initial rush of current. Also, keep an eye on your spacing. Because the heat is so focused, it’s easy to accidentally scorch your material. If you notice things getting too hot too quickly, just move the lamp a bit further back from the workpiece. The “magic” behind the glass We use quartz glass for a simple reason: it stays out of the way. It lets the infrared energy slide right through without soaking it up. That means the energy actually hits your product instead of just heating up the lamp housing. But a heads-up: while the filament is tough against heat, it’s physically delicate. One clumsy move during installation and you’ve got a broken fiber. Just use a steady hand when you’re popping them into the sockets. Where this actually helps You’ll mostly see these in PET bottle blowing, plastic curing, or industrial drying. They save a ton of time because they don’t bother heating the air around the product—they just heat the product itself. The only real headache? Voltage swings. If your line voltage jumps around, you’re risking a burnout. It’s a fragile balance. To keep your lamps from dying early, I’d strongly suggest using a stabilized power source or a PID controller. It keeps the wattage steady and saves you from having to replace bulbs way sooner than you should.
