Quartz Tungsten Halogen Lamps

Short-wave infrared lamps operate at higher color temperatures (around 4,100°F) and offer instant thermal response, making them ideal for rapid drying and curing. Medium-wave lamps operate at lower temperatures and are less color-sensitive, making them preferable for applications like screen printing with plastisol inks where consistent heat across varying ink colors is critical.

Fannon Products' quartz tungsten halogen lamps are rated for 5,000+ hours of operation. Their good thermal shock resistance and robust quartz construction contribute to long service life, even in demanding industrial environments with frequent on/off cycling or continuous high-temperature operation.

Yes. Fannon Products can manufacture quartz tungsten halogen lamps in virtually any length under 40 inches, wattage from 250W to over 6,000W, and a wide range of voltages from 115V to 600V. Reflector options include 24K gold, white oxide, or clear quartz, and lamps are available in series or parallel wiring configurations.

Yes. Fannon Products manufactures direct replacement lamps built to exact OEM specifications for equipment from Heidelberg, M&R, Tempco, Anderson Thermal, DryStar, Eltosch Grafix, Helios, Italquartz, Heraeus, and Emitted Energy, among others. This ensures drop-in compatibility without costly equipment modifications.

These lamps are widely used in commercial and industrial printing (inkjet and screen printing), automotive paint and primer curing, plastics forming and welding, glass-ceramics processing, food processing (baking, dehydrating), electronics (reflow soldering), and textile finishing. Their instant response and high radiant efficiency make them versatile across many process heating applications.

Fannon Products offers three reflector configurations: clear quartz (no reflector) for omnidirectional emission, a high-temperature white oxide reflector for general directional heating, and a 24K gold integral reflector that focuses virtually 100% of infrared energy toward the work surface — saving up to 23.5% in energy costs compared to standard lamps.
