Let’s talk about our 740mm Quartz Carbon Heat Lamps
If you need heat—and you need it now—these are your best bet. We built these 740mm elements specifically for those high-output jobs where waiting for a lamp to warm up just isn’t an option. They run at 220V and pull 1200W, pumping out short-to-medium wave radiation that hits your target instantly. The power side of things Here’s the deal with the specs: 1200W spread across 740mm means you get a nice, steady stream of heat. No annoying “cold spots” in the middle of your zone. Just a heads-up: because these hit their operating temp so fast, you’ve got to make sure your wiring and relays can actually handle the current. If you skimp on the cables, you’re just asking for a burnout at the terminals. Why carbon and quartz? We went with a carbon-based filament wrapped in high-purity quartz. Why? Because carbon doesn’t need to get nearly as hot as tungsten to throw off a massive amount of infrared energy. The quartz is there to keep the filament from oxidizing and to let the heat fly through without getting trapped. They’re tough. They can handle the grind of a loud, dirty industrial shop. But—and this is a big but—**do not touch the glass with your bare hands.**The oils from your skin create these tiny hot spots that will crack the quartz. Use gloves. Getting them into your line If you’re running PET blowing or curing lines, these usually just slide right in. The 740mm size fits most standard oven racks without a fight. The best part? Your cycle times drop because the ramp-up is so quick. One last thing: keep your reflectors clean. If they get dusty or oxidized, you’re basically throwing heat away. That forces the lamp to work harder and run hotter, which kills the lifespan of the bulb. Keep them shiny, and these lamps will last you a long time.
