We built the SK15 carbon fiber heat lamp for one reason: paint curing lines. Where speed and even heating aren’t nice-to-haves—they’re the difference between hitting your cycle time and getting stuck waiting. It’s a shortwave infrared emitter, and it punches way above its weight in a compact footprint. Here’s the thing. We matched the specs to real-world line speeds. The lamp runs at 2500W across a 300mm active length, so you get serious heat density. That means wet coatings cure fast, without stretching out the heating zone. And the 400V setup? It keeps the current draw lower on the supply side. That matters when you’re wiring up several banks in a paint booth, because it keeps conductor sizing and contactor ratings simple. The materials do the heavy lifting. The carbon fiber element responds almost instantly and holds up through constant heating and cooling cycles. The quartz envelope keeps everything stable, even when solvents and overspray are in the mix, so output stays consistent. And the SK15 connector is a straight swap—drop it in and you’re good. No messing with mounting hardware. On the line, the goal is simple: put energy into the paint, not the air around it. The shortwave profile hits the film directly, so you hit cure temperature quickly and evenly. But that power comes with a note—this is high-density heat. You’ll want solid cooling and thermal shielding to protect nearby components and keep ambient temps in check.
