Introduction
We built this workshop heater for the shop floor, plain and simple. It’s a 400V, 2500W halogen heating lamp, designed to blast focused, high-intensity heat right where you need it. Perfect for industrial spaces where you want heat on demand, fast, in a package that fits neatly into your standard 400V three-phase wiring.
Power, Voltage, and Size: Why It Matters
That 2500W rating at 400V? It’s not random. It packs a serious punch into a small footprint, so you can get a specific zone hot—fast. The 300mm tube keeps the heat tight, meaning you’re not wasting energy warming up the whole room. It’s ideal for jobs that need a quick temperature jump. But, and this is important, that kind of concentrated power needs proper airflow and clearance to stay safe and reliable. On the plus side, running on 400V lowers the current, which helps keep wiring simpler and cuts down on voltage drop over longer runs.
Built to Last: The Core Materials
Inside, we use a halogen element housed in a quartz envelope. Quartz handles extreme heat like a champ and stays clear, so you get consistent performance. A reflective coating pushes infrared energy forward, making the heat more directional and more efficient. And the R7s connector? It’s a proven industrial standard. It handles the current safely, installs easily, and locks in tight, even when things get shaky. This heater is designed as a straight swap for existing R7s units—just plug it in and go.
Workshop Ready: Where It Shines
Think of this heater as the solution for tight spots where you need serious heat, on command. It tackles localized drying, pre-heating, and curing without taking up precious space or complicating your setup. The halogen design responds instantly, so you spend less time waiting around between cycles. The trade-off is real: that concentrated heat needs space and airflow. Give it the clearance it needs, size your airflow correctly, and you’ll get steady, repeatable temperature control, day after day.
