Introduction
We built this carbon fiber heat lamp to be a compact powerhouse for your home. It’s all about getting focused warmth exactly where you need it, without a bunch of fuss. Inside, you’ve got a halogen-filled quartz tube with a carbon fiber element. The whole point is simple: heat up fast, keep the output steady, and fit neatly into standard home fixtures.
What Makes It Tick: Power, Voltage, and Size
At the heart of this lamp is a 2500W halogen bulb running on 400V. We chose that specific power and voltage to pack a lot of heat into a small space, while keeping the electrical draw manageable on a dedicated circuit. The 300mm tube length is no accident, either. It’s long enough to spread that radiant warmth over a good area, but still short enough to slip into tight spots and stay sturdy. The payoff? A serious amount of heat from a small footprint. Because the filament is so light, it heats up almost instantly. And that 400V supply means you don’t need oversized wiring. Just keep in mind, this is a hot piece of equipment. Make sure you give it plenty of clearance, and that whatever fixture and wiring you use can handle the constant 2500W output.
The Nitty-Gritty: Materials and Design
We run a halogen cycle inside the quartz envelope. This keeps the carbon fiber filament clean as it runs, which means the light stays bright and consistent over time. No dimming, no blackening. Quartz is perfect for this. It can take the shock of heating up and cooling down, and it lets the good stuff—the near-infrared warmth—pass right through. So more energy goes into heating your space, not the glass itself. The R7s base makes installation a breeze. It’s that simple two-pin connection you see on linear halogen lamps, so wiring is straightforward and the mount is solid every time. And the carbon fiber element? It’s tough. It holds its resistance steady, so you can flip the switch on and off without worrying about sudden changes. It just keeps working, cycle after cycle.
Where It Shines and Why It Works
For your home, this setup means you get focused radiant heat without waiting around. The 300mm tube and R7s base make it a direct swap for existing halogen fixtures, as long as your fixture is rated for the wattage and voltage. This lamp isn’t meant to warm an entire room. Think of it as your go-to for direct, targeted heat. It’s perfect for under-cabinet tasks, keeping your workshop bench toasty, or just creating a warm little zone where you need it most. Because of the 2500W/400V rating, you just need to make sure you pair it with the right socket and wiring. Treat it like the high-density heat source it is, and plan your setup accordingly.
