GE QH500T3/CL/7 500W 120V Quartzline Infrared Halogen Heat Lamp | 8.8" T3

The GE 21787 (QH500T3/CL/7) is a precision 500-watt clear quartz halogen lamp engineered for targeted industrial heating and drying. Operating on standard 120V circuits, this double-ended T3 lamp is widely utilized in plastic blow molding and high-speed thermal curing lines. With its **instant-on** radiant power and a **5,000-hour** rated life, it provides high-efficiency heat transfer for demanding manufacturing processes.

Key Features

• Industrial Precision: Optimized for plastic blow molding and PET preform heating where space is limited.
• Instant Radiant Power: Reaches full operating temperature in seconds, making it ideal for automated manufacturing lines.
• Durable Terminations: Features metal sleeve ends with lead wires to ensure secure electrical contact in high-vibration machinery.
• High Efficiency: Maximizes the conversion of electricity into focused infrared heat for rapid drying and curing.

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Burn Position: Horizontal only. Operating outside of the horizontal plane will lead to premature filament failure.
• Skin Contact: Do not touch the quartz glass. Oils from your skin can cause "hot spots," leading to "blistering" and rupture. If touched, clean with alcohol.
• Enclosure Requirement: Use only in fixtures designed to contain glass fragments in the rare event of a lamp failure.
