We built the 285mm 300W Clear Halogen Infrared Heat Lamp for one reason: to cure finishes fast—right where you need it, in the spray booth. This isn’t about gently warming the room. It’s about direct, line-of-sight radiant heat that hits the part and gets the job done, without making your booth’s air handling fight an uphill battle. Here’s the practical side of what makes it work. We kept it at 285mm and 300W because that’s the sweet spot: compact enough to drop into tight booth spots, yet dense enough to deliver serious heat. It runs on standard industrial voltage, so you can wire it in without tearing your control panel apart. That wattage is all aimed at moving parts through the cure zone—without throwing away energy heating the air around them. The build is straightforward, because on the floor, straightforward is what matters. The clear quartz envelope can take the heat—staying strong when temperatures spike and resisting thermal shock. Inside, the halogen cycle keeps the filament stable and prevents that blackening that kills output over time. So you get consistent heat, shift after shift. And it uses an R7s base, so it’s a simple drop-in replacement in existing sockets. No fuss. In a spray booth, timing is everything. This lamp throws infrared energy straight onto the workpiece, so cure time shrinks and your throughput climbs. The trade-off? It runs hot—so make sure the fixture and wiring are rated for continuous high-temperature use. Add proper shielding and ventilation, and you’ve got a setup that delivers reliable curing, day in and day out.
