Introduction
We built the Sunlike infrared heater for engineers who just want heat that’s powerful, compact, and ready to drop straight into the lines they already have. Think of it as a shortwave halogen lamp, designed to deliver intense, controllable energy without taking up a lot of room. It’s the kind of heat you can count on for industrial heating, drying, and forming—no fuss, just results.
The Details, Without the Fluff
Here’s the thing: it runs on 400V, which keeps the current lower. That means you can use smaller conductors and worry less about voltage drop over distance. At 2500W, it packs serious heat density, so you hit your target temperature fast. And with a 300mm tube length, you get a tight hot zone that lines up with many machine windows and concentrator setups. So the energy lands exactly where you need it.
Built to Take It
Inside, the quartz envelope handles the shock of rapid on-off cycling, and the halogen fill keeps filament performance steady over time. The shortwave output peaks in the near-infrared band, which means it couples straight into many plastics and coatings—no wasted effort. And the R7s base? It’s a proven industrial connector. Easy to wire. Stays secure even under vibration. It holds tight when the heat is on.
How It Feels on the Floor
In practice, this setup runs clean, heats exactly when you need it, and installs like a straightforward replacement for older IR modules. But let’s be real: 2500W in a 300mm tube means high surface temperature. So your machine needs proper airflow and shielding to keep nearby components from getting too hot. If you need fast, repeatable heat in a small footprint, this lamp is a solid, field-ready option.
