Product Overview
Quartz infrared heater (QIH) lamps provide clean, instantaneous, precisely controlled radiant heat for applications such as baking, drying, curing, dehydrating, warming of foods, and general area warming. Unlike convection or forced-air heating, a QIH lamp reaches full output almost immediately and can be cycled on/off or dimmed for tight process control, without the lag of a heated air mass.
This 1001329 is rated 1600W at 240V with a 502.0mm maximum overall length and a 407mm lighted length. It uses clear quartz. The lamp terminates in a round ceramic base with lead wire.
At a rated 5000-hour average life and 2500K color temperature, this lamp fits process heating, scientific/medical, and semiconductor applications where Ushio's QIH lamps are commonly specified for their precise, controllable, instant-on heat output.
Compatible Applications
- Industrial process heating: baking, drying, curing, dehydrating
- Food warming and general area warming
- Scientific and medical applications: infant environment warming, heat therapy, spa/sauna heating, laboratory environmental control
- Semiconductor manufacturing: precise temperature and heating-zone control
Before Ordering – Verify
- Confirm voltage matches 240V — QIH lamps are voltage-specific across this family (104V through 600V); a lamp built for one voltage is not interchangeable with another
- Confirm base type (Round Ceramic Base with Lead Wire) against the fixture/holder — the seven QIH base types (metal clip, R7s contact, metal sleeve, lead wire, round or flat ceramic) are not interchangeable
- Confirm physical fit: MOL 502.0mm against the available socket-to-socket or clip-to-clip distance in the fixture
Safety and Handling Guidelines
- Quartz infrared heater lamps generate significant heat and infrared radiation — do not touch the lamp during or immediately after operation
- De-energize the fixture and allow the lamp to cool fully before installation, removal, or servicing
- Do not touch the quartz envelope with bare skin during installation; oils from skin contact can cause the quartz to fail prematurely under heat — handle with clean gloves or a cloth
- Install and operate only in fixtures rated for this lamp's wattage and voltage, with adequate clearance from combustible materials
- Follow the manufacturer's specified burning position (horizontal, or per fixture design) — operating outside the rated position can shorten lamp life or cause failure
- Follow all applicable national and local electrical and fire codes for infrared heating installations
