Carbon Fiber Infrared Heating Lamp: Built for the Motorcycle Shop
We built this carbon fiber infrared heating lamp for the kind of work that happens on a motorcycle bench—curing paint, setting adhesives, and fixing plastic panels. It was designed to give you fast, focused heat exactly where you need it, especially when a big shop oven just isn’t practical.
Power, Voltage, and Size—Straight to the Point
This lamp runs on 230V/400V, so you can plug it into your standard industrial setup or run it on a higher-voltage line. That means longer cable runs without the voltage drop. It’s rated at 2500W, so you get serious heat from a small, tidy footprint. Heat up a targeted area fast. The tube is 300mm long, which is just right for hitting seams on fairings and working around brackets, without scorching the parts nearby.
The Build: Carbon Fiber, Coating, and a Reliable R7s
The carbon fiber element heats up quickly and delivers steady infrared output. It’s tough enough to handle being switched on and off all day, without getting stressed by the thermal shock. The quartz envelope is coated to shield the element, boost durability, and keep the output stable. And the R7s connector? It’s an industry standard for a reason. It installs fast and stays solid, even in a shop where everything is vibrating.
What It Does for You—And How to Use It
On the bench, this lamp makes curing and bonding feel straightforward. Whether you’re working on panels or laying down custom paint, the heat is intense and focused. That means shorter cycle times. But here’s the thing: that concentrated energy needs respect. Give it proper cooling, and keep it at the right distance. Otherwise, you can overheat nearby plastics. Set it up as a direct drop-in, and you get repeatable heat control without having to rework your fixture. Just point it, heat it, and get the job done.
