Reflector PAR38 Infrared E27 RED

• The Eurolux Reflector PAR38 Infrared E27 RED is not a conventional light bulb; it is a high-performance incandescent heat source designed for a wide range of agricultural, commercial, and industrial applications.
• This specialty lamp utilizes infrared technology to efficiently radiate thermal energy, which is felt as heat rather than seen as bright light.
• The energy is delivered in the infrared spectrum (approximately 770 to 1,000,000 nanometers), making it an incredibly effective method for directional heating.
• Housed in a durable PAR38 hard glass reflector body, it focuses the heat into a controlled beam.
• Available in two powerful options—a 175W (G204) and a high-output 250W (G625) model—the Reflector PAR38 Infrared E27 RED is the professional choice for applications such as animal brooding, food warming, and industrial drying processes where reliable, focused heat is essential.

Features

• Infrared Heating Technology: Emits energy primarily in the infrared spectrum for efficient, direct heat transfer with minimal visible light.
• Two High-Power Options: Available in a 175W and a 250W model to suit different heating requirements and applications.
• Durable PAR38 Construction: Features a robust PAR38 (120mm diameter) hard glass envelope and reflector, designed to withstand high temperatures and focus the heat output.
• Standard E27 Edison Screw Base: Equipped with the universal E27 base for compatibility with a wide range of high-temperature rated fixtures.
• Fully Dimmable: Allows for precise temperature control when used with a suitable high-wattage, resistive-load dimmer switch.
• Red-Filtered Glass: The red glass filters out a significant portion of the visible light spectrum, minimizing disturbance in applications like animal brooding while still allowing for visual confirmation that the lamp is on.
• Long Service Life: Engineered for a 3,000-hour operational lifespan under typical heating conditions.

Benefits

• Provides Efficient Directional Heat: Infrared energy heats objects and surfaces directly without wasting energy heating the surrounding air, making it a highly efficient heat source.
• Precise Temperature Control: The dimmable nature of the lamp allows users to accurately regulate the heat output, which is critical for sensitive applications like rearing young animals or specific industrial processes.
• Versatile Application Range: An indispensable tool for a variety of industries, from agriculture and catering to industrial manufacturing and therapeutic care.
• Reduces Stress on Animals: The low visible light output from the red filter provides necessary warmth for brooding chicks, puppies, or piglets without disrupting their natural sleep cycles with bright white light.
• Durable and Robust Design: The hard glass PAR38 construction is more resilient to splashes and physical stress than standard glass bulbs, making it suitable for demanding environments.
• Simple Installation: The standard E27 base allows for easy installation into appropriately rated ceramic or porcelain lamp holders.

Model-Specific Variations

Ideal Use

The Reflector PAR38 Infrared E27 RED is a specialized tool designed for heating, not illumination. Its applications are extensive and varied.

• Agricultural Brooding: Widely used for rearing young animals such as chicks, piglets, puppies, and lambs by providing essential, non-disruptive warmth.
• Catering and Food Service: Ideal for use in food warming stations, bain-maries, and pass-throughs in restaurants to keep food at a safe and appealing temperature.
• Industrial Processes: Suitable for various heating and drying applications, such as curing paints and resins, drying adhesives, and thermoforming plastics.
• Reptile and Amphibian Enclosures: Provides a necessary heat source for creating thermal gradients in terrariums for many reptile species.
• Home and Wellness: Can be used in bathroom heat lamp fittings or for therapeutic applications to soothe muscle aches (use with caution and follow professional advice).

Tips

To ensure a safe, correct, and successful installation of your Reflector PAR38 Infrared E27 RED heat lamp, please review the following critical expert recommendations.

• CRITICAL: FIRE AND BURN HAZARD: This lamp operates at extremely high temperatures. Maintain a significant safe distance between the lamp and any combustible materials such as bedding, wood, plastic, fabric, and liquids. Never touch the lamp when it is on or has been recently turned off, as it can cause severe burns.
• CRITICAL: USE A HIGH-TEMPERATURE RATED FIXTURE: You MUST use this lamp in a fixture with a ceramic or porcelain E27 lampholder. Standard plastic lampholders are not designed for this level of heat and will melt, creating a severe fire and electrical hazard. The fixture should be rated for at least 250W.
• CRITICAL: USE A COMPATIBLE DIMMER: If dimming, you MUST use a high-power dimmer switch specifically rated for incandescent or resistive loads that can handle the lamp's wattage (e.g., a 600W resistive dimmer). DO NOT use a standard LED dimmer, as it will fail and may be damaged.
• Not for Illumination: This is a heater, not a light bulb. The small amount of red light produced is a byproduct; its primary function is to generate infrared heat. Do not use it for general room lighting.
• Avoid Water Contact: Do not allow water or other liquids to splash onto the hot glass, as the thermal shock can cause the bulb to shatter. Use protective shields in agricultural settings where splashing is possible.
• Ensure Adequate Ventilation: The fixture must be open and allow for adequate airflow to dissipate heat from the lamp's base and the fitting itself. Do not use in small, fully enclosed fixtures.
