Gold Coated Small Round Ceramic Cap
Shortwave Infrared Heater›Shortwave Heating Lamps
Shortwave infrared lamp with a gold reflector and small round ceramic caps, made in Chennai. The gold layer on the back of the quartz tube reflects more than 90 % of the infrared towards the product, so less heat is lost behind the lamp and the surrounding machine stays cooler. Gold coating is suited to tube temperatures up to about 600 °C; for hotter positions choose a white ceramic reflector. The lamp reaches full output within about a second and can be controlled from 0 to 100 %. 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.
