Infrared LampsInfrared (IR) lamps are available in a number of wavelength and output emission ranges. See the chart below for a summary of features. Click on the highlighted links for more information.

| Lamp | Peak emission | Emission | Description |
 |
2 - 3 microns | 100 watts/in | The Rapido™ IR lamp is a high density (100 watts/inch), medium wave infrared lamp that emits at the ideal wavelength for drying water and heating plastics. The Rapido™ combines the heating capability of short wave T3 lamps with the absorption capabilities of medium wave emitters. |
 |
3 - 4 microns | 50 watts/in | The IQH medium wave quartz tube has 50 watt/inch capability, with a medium to long wavelength IR emission. The patented filament has a heat-up time of 6 seconds as compared with 30 seconds for conventional medium wave quartz tubes. |
 |
1 - 2 microns | Up to 200 watts/in | Short wavelength quartz halogen lamps are available in custom lengths in wattages up to 200 watts/inch. Lamp lengths up to 50 inches lighted length are available. Ceramic reflector coatings are available for lamps that go into PET process machinery. |
 |
1 - 2 microns | Up to 100 watts/in | The Ruby Red Quartz Halogen Lamp is a short wave, type T3 infrared lamp with a ruby quartz envelope. The ruby quartz filters out the unwanted glare, while allowing the infrared heat to pass through, which is intended for applications where operators are present in the area. |
 |
1 - 2 microns (Short wave) |
Up to 200 watts/in | Twin Tube emitters are available with either a medium wave (IQH) or a short wavelength tungsten filament. The gold-backed lamps are customizable for wattage and heated length. |
|
3 - 4 microns (Medium wave) |
Up to 100 watts/in | ||
