Shaped Lamps

Omega Shaped Lamps

Omega shaped lamps are typically used for heating vessels such as medical vials, scientific beakers and test tubes. Applications include sterilization, baking, heating, boiling, joining of plastic parts, annealing, bending of rods and the drawing of plastic fibers.

Omega shaped lamps are engineered for use in a horizontal orientation. Typical sizes vary from 51mm-305mm (2"- 12") outer diameters. Maximum temperature is 2400°C (4350°F). Lamp life expectancy is approximately 5000 hours.

Reflective coatings are available:

Shaped lamps have similar design features as standard tubular lamps: clear quartz, ceramic and gold reflective coatings on 180° of the lamps' circumference are available. Reflective coatings focus the lamps' infrared energy in the direction where it is needed.

"C" Lamps

The "C" lamp is similar to standard T3 shortwave lamps except the seals on the "C" style lamps are outside of the heated area. This design feature results in easy to cool end seals for longer lamp life. Gold and ceramic reflective coatings are available as an option to make them unidirectional.

"U" Lamps

"U" lamps are available in both medium and shortwave. Like the "C" lamp, the shortwave "U" lamp design allows for the sealed ends to be outside the heated zone, keeping the seals cool and extending lamp life expectancy. The long legs of the "U" make it an exceptional choice for use in a vacuum chamber where the ceramic end caps and the metal wires and connections must be outside the heated area.
