500W Quartz Halogen Replacement Bulbs

In general lighting applications, yes — LED replacements are widely available. However, in industrial settings like inkjet drying, paint curing, or plastics forming, a direct LED swap is not always viable because the application relies on specific infrared wavelengths (short-wave or medium-wave) that quartz halogen lamps produce. Consult a specialist before switching technology types.

A 500W halogen lamp typically corresponds to a 50-80W LED in terms of visible light output. For infrared process heating applications, wattage equivalency is less relevant than matching the correct wavelength, watt density, and lamp geometry to ensure your drying or curing process performs at the same efficiency level.

A 500W LED fixture typically produces between 50,000 and 70,000 lumens. However, for industrial infrared applications, lumens are not the key metric — radiant efficiency, wavelength, and watt density are what matter. Fannon Products' quartz infrared lamps achieve 96% radiant efficiency, optimizing energy delivery directly to the target surface.

Fannon Products' replacement lamps are available in a wide range of voltages including 115V, 120V, 208V, 230V, 240V, 277V, 400V, 415V, 480V, 575V, and 600V. This broad selection ensures compatibility with virtually any industrial equipment configuration in the USA and internationally.

Fannon Products' quartz halogen infrared replacement lamps are rated for 5,000+ hours of operation. The lamps feature good thermal shock resistance and can operate in both horizontal and vertical orientations, contributing to consistent performance and extended service life in high-cycle industrial environments.
