PHILIPS 1600W 1600T3CL 240V Quartzline | T3 Infrared Halogen Heat Lamp | Double-Ended

Philips 1600T3CL (Order Code: 1600T3/CL/240V) is a high-output Quartzline infrared halogen lamp designed for industrial heating and drying applications. Delivering 1600 watts of targeted thermal energy, this T3 double-ended lamp features a clear quartz envelope and lead wire terminals, ensuring rapid response times and efficient heat transfer.

Product Overview

Philips Quartzline infrared lamps provide a powerful and controllable heat source for demanding industrial processes. The 1600T3CL utilizes a C-8 tungsten filament sealed within a narrow T3 quartz tube, allowing it to reach full operating temperature almost instantaneously. With a 2500K color temperature, this lamp produces high-intensity short-wave infrared energy, which is ideal for paint curing, plastics processing, and large-scale space heating where deep penetration and efficiency are required.

• Instant Heat Response: Reaches full thermal output within seconds of ignition, providing precise control for automated industrial cycles.
• High-Purity Quartz: The clear T3 envelope is resistant to thermal shock and ensures maximum transmission of infrared radiation.
• Lead Wire Terminations: Features flexible lead wires at each end for secure connection in specialized heating modules and industrial furnaces.
• Long Life Durability: Rated for a 5,000-hour average life, reducing downtime in continuous manufacturing environments.

Before You Order

• Burn Position Restriction: This lamp is designed for Horizontal Burn only. Operating the lamp at an incline or in a vertical position will cause the filament to sag, significantly shortening its life and potentially causing the tube to fail.
• Voltage Matching: Rated for 240 Volts. Ensure your power supply matches this specification; under-voltage will result in insufficient heat, while over-voltage will cause premature lamp failure.
• Handling Instructions: Do not touch the quartz glass with bare hands. Fingerprints can cause "devitrification" (clouding and weakening) of the quartz when it reaches operating temperature. If touched, clean with denatured alcohol before use.
• Terminal Connection: Verify that your fixture is designed for lead wire connections rather than R7s recessed contact bases.

Additional Information

Philips infrared lamps are favored in the automotive, textile, and paper industries for their reliability and spectral consistency. The 1600T3CL is an excellent replacement for Sylvania 59864, offering identical form and function. For facilities requiring high-density heat arrays, these lamps provide the spectral punch necessary for high-speed production lines while maintaining a compact physical footprint.
