Shortwave IR Lamps

Shortwave IR lamps utilize a low-mass tungsten filament to provide a high energy source that responds rapidly to voltage changes which allows for precise temperature control in steady-state and dynamic situations.

In less than one second over 90% of the IR energy is available. A thin quartz envelope allows transmission of the IR energy while protecting the filament from convective cooling and corrosion.  Lamps are hermetically sealed and filled with an inert halogen gas that prolongs lamp life.

While operating at full voltage the lamps provide shortwave infrared radiation with filament temperatures up to 2400°C (4350°F). A shortwave heater has a peak energy wavelength of 1.15 microns.
