A Real Look at the 250W Carbon Fiber Heat Lamp
We built this 250W carbon fiber heat lamp for engineers who need serious heat in a seriously small package. The 250W rating throws out focused infrared energy, so you get rapid heating without the wait. And with 230V or 240V options, it plugs right into standard plant power. At just 300mm long and 10mm wide, it slips into tight corners on machines like PET blowing heads and thermoforming zones.
Why the Materials Matter
The heart of this lamp is the carbon fiber element. It responds almost instantly to power, and it shrugs off repeated on-off cycles without cracking. That means you get fast heat, every single time. The quartz envelope is filled with halogen gas to keep the filament temperature steady. So the output stays consistent, shift after shift. And the R7s double-ended connector? It makes installation a simple, drop-in job. No hassle, no rewiring. The quartz body also has a special coating to manage the light spectrum and shield the element from whatever the shop floor throws at it.
How It Performs Where You Need It
Out on the shop floor, this lamp slides right in where old ceramic or metal-sheath heaters are failing—especially when space is tight. It delivers pinpoint heat, cuts down warm-up time, and keeps cycle times steady. Here’s the trade-off, though: packing 250W into such a tiny tube creates high heat density. So you need to make sure the surrounding fixture and machine cooling can handle the extra warmth. Get the specs right, and you’ve got a heat source that just keeps going. Reliable. Repeatable. And it keeps downtime off the table.
