265mm 800w carbon fiber heat lamp

May 3, 2026

Introduction

We built the 265mm 800W carbon fiber heat lamp for engineers who just need a compact powerhouse that drops right into what they already have. The whole point is straightforward: give you reliable infrared heat in a small footprint, without forcing you to redesign the entire machine.

Power, Voltage, and Size—What It Really Means

At 800W, this lamp packs serious heat into a short 265mm body. That kind of power density is exactly what lets you hit a focused area fast—perfect when space is tight but you still need a quick temperature ramp. And that 265mm length? It’s a thoughtful balance. Long enough to create a stable hot zone, but short enough to fit into crowded enclosures and compact reflector setups. Voltage matters because it decides how smoothly the lamp plays with your control panel. If you go with 230V or 240V, the current stays reasonable and the wiring stays simple. Choose the 400V version, and you still get the same 800W output with lower current, which can mean smaller conductors and less stress on contactors. Just keep in mind the power supply and insulation need to be rated for it. Either way, you’re working with a fixed wattage in a fixed size, so the thermal behavior in your machine stays predictable.

Materials and Build: Carbon Fiber, Quartz, and the R7s Base

The carbon fiber element heats up fast and delivers a broad infrared profile, which helps you get even heating across the target surface. And that element sits inside a quartz envelope chosen for one big reason: it can handle the shock of repeated on/off cycles. It takes the abuse so your lamp keeps performing. Then there’s the R7s base—practical, no-fuss, and designed for line-of-sight installation. It gives you a straightforward two-terminal connection, making it a common drop-in replacement in many industrial heaters. We designed the lamp to keep the element centered and protected, which helps prevent hot spots that can cut service life short.

Where It Shines—and What to Keep in Mind

This setup is a go-to whenever you need fast, focused infrared heating—places like plastic welding, adhesive curing, coating drying, and component testing. The compact size means you can put the heat exactly where the process needs it, and the R7s connection keeps the wiring clean and straightforward. Here’s the reality check, though: 800W packed into a 265mm tube runs hot. Your machine needs proper clearance, a well-designed reflector, and planned ventilation so nearby components don’t overheat. Treat this as an engineered component, not just a bulb, and it’ll perform reliably.
