The Carbon Fiber IR 12V Heat Lamp: Serious Heat, Without the Heavy Wiring
We built this Carbon Fiber IR 12V Heat Lamp for one simple reason: to give industrial spaces serious, focused heat—without needing to run big, bulky AC lines. It runs straight off a 12V DC supply. So you can wire it to a battery bank or a machine’s low-voltage bus. That means no bulky transformers. Just a clean, compact setup.
Why 12V? It’s a smart choice, not a convenience.
Here’s the thing: the 12V rating wasn’t an afterthought. It was a deliberate engineering move. It lets you use compact, low-voltage power supplies. And it keeps your wiring simple—no need for heavy-gauge cables. The carbon fiber filament inside? It’s all about speed. It heats up fast, hitting the temperature you need almost instantly. And it stays steady, even when you’re flipping the lamp on and off again and again. The shape of the tube is tuned, too, to focus the infrared pattern. So you get the heat where you want it, not wasted in all directions.
Built to take the heat. And keep working.
On a busy shop floor, you need gear that can handle the pressure. That’s why we chose carbon fiber. It handles sudden temperature swings way better than standard wire elements. The quartz envelope? It can take the heat, and it delivers the infrared spectrum cleanly. The coating is there for the long haul—resisting oxidation and keeping output steady, shift after shift. And the R7s base gives you a solid, two-point connection. It’s a common size, so it drops right into sockets you probably already have.
Where this lamp shines.
This is your go-to when you need focused infrared heat in a tight spot. Think curing adhesives, drying coatings, pre-heating plastics, or spot heating components. The 12V design makes integration simple and helps you cut wiring costs. Just keep two things in mind: your power supply needs to be rated for the full load. And you’ll want to make sure your reflector and fixture are ready to handle that concentrated heat.
