500mm 700W Carbon Fiber Halogen Infrared Heating Lamps: Built for Serious Heat

We built this 500mm, 700W carbon fiber heating lamp for engineers who need serious heat in a small footprint. It’s a shortwave infrared emitter, designed to jump to temperature fast—right where you need it, without taking up a lot of room.

The nitty-gritty

The 500mm length and 700W rating are chosen to pack in serious watt density without pushing the filament too hard. That means you get a heat-up that feels instant and control that responds the moment you need it. But here’s the trade-off: it runs hot. Real hot. So you need to plan your space carefully—give it proper clearance in the fixture, and make sure the surrounding equipment can breathe, either with airflow or solid heat sinking.

What’s inside

Inside the quartz envelope, carbon fiber filaments deliver steady resistance and consistent output, even after repeated heating and cooling cycles. The halogen cycle keeps the filament clean, so performance stays steady over the life of the lamp. And we went with an R7s base because it just works. It’s secure, electrically reliable, and makes straight-tube mounting straightforward—easy to wire, easy to replace when you’re on the line.

Where it shines

Use this lamp when you need rapid, localized heat—think plastic forming, sealing, drying, or process heating on compact machines. The combo of carbon fiber, quartz, and halogen chemistry gives you a predictable heat profile and a tough design that handles repeated on/off cycles without blinking. Just remember: you’re getting a lot of heat in a small space. Plan your cooling and clearance accordingly, and you’ll get the performance you need—quick, reliable, and ready to work.
