Gold Coated Rectangular Ceramic Cap
Shortwave infrared lamp with a gold reflector and rectangular ceramic caps, made in Chennai. The gold coating reflects more than 90 % of the infrared onto the product, which raises the useful heat and keeps the area behind the lamp cooler. Rectangular caps give stable, secure mounting. Use gold where the tube stays below about 600 °C. The 180° coating is standard; 270° or other angles can be made. The same lengths and ratings as our uncoated lamps are available, and lengths can be made to match an original lamp. To order a replacement, send the overall length, heated length, wattage, voltage and cap type, or the old lamp.
