Quartz heater lamp are powerful, non-contact and fast heat-up lamps consists of a finely coiled tungsten filament encased in a high-purity quartz envelope . A halogen gas is filled to ensure constant infrared efficiency and promote long life of the emitter. Rated life for most HIT lamps is 5000 hours . Actual life will depend upon the application and environment and may be more or less than rated .

HIT quartz elements are effective in many industrial applications including preheating, curing, annealing, drying, thermoforming, baking, softening, food warming and outdoor/indoor space heating .
