Introduction
Ever noticed streaks after a glass mirror coating? Yeah, that’s usually a heat problem. Standard infrared drying lamps can be spotty—leaving you with uneven curing that shows up as bands and flaws. So we built a mirror coating drying lamp that gives you even, reliable infrared heat. It was designed for one thing: meeting the exacting demands of mirror coating lines.
Power, voltage, and size—what it really means
This is a shortwave infrared halogen lamp, made for industrial coating work. It runs on 400V and cranks out 2500W in a compact 300mm tube. That kind of power density is what gives you the fast temperature ramp you need for curing. But here’s the catch—it also means you’re dealing with serious heat. Plan your cooling before you run it. The lamp will throw off a lot of ambient heat in the chamber. The 300mm length is a smart part of the design. It lets you pack multiple units close together, so you can build a continuous heat profile without wasted space.
What it’s built from—and why it matters
The tube is quartz, chosen because it handles rapid heating and cooling without cracking, and keeps output steady. We added a reflective coating to push more energy forward. That means less wasted heat to the sides, and more power hitting the target surface. Inside, the halogen element delivers shortwave infrared that gets right into the coating. It drives off solvents fast, without leaving the surface cold. And the R7s connector? It’s a tough, proven industrial fit—built for high current and high temperature. You get a solid connection that can take the grind of production, and swapping lamps is quick with almost no rework.
What it does for you: fewer streaks, less hassle
On a glass mirror line, what you want is even curing. Uneven heat is what creates bands and streaks—and that means rework, scrap, and frustration. This lamp lays down a consistent thermal field across the coating, so you get even drying and a smoother finish. And if you’re working with an existing drying station that uses R7s mounts, it drops right in. Installation is straightforward. Just keep one thing in mind: at 2500W, heat management is real. Give it proper airflow and shielding, and you’ll get repeatable, high-throughput drying—without the streaks.
