HALOTHERM lamps are short-wave Infrared lamps (IR-A) developed specially for technical applications. They consist of a tungsten filament enclosed in a quartz tube. The filler gas in the quartz vessel contains halogen additives to prevent the bulb from blackening and ensure long average life. Most of these lamps have a maximum radiation at a wavelength of about 1100 nm. The main benefits of heating with HALOTHERM lamps are their short response time, precise controllability and high efficiency. They can be installed in machinery and production facilities, take up very little space and are easy to service.
