THE WORKING VIEW

Why this heat bulb earns its place

When a heat lamp above your food display goes dark or dims, a worn-out quartz bulb is usually the culprit. This is a direct-replacement unit: 200W, 240V, linear shape, 118 mm long. If your existing lamp fixture is designed for a standard linear infrared bulb, this will swap in to restore full heat output with minimal downtime.

Infrared lamps work differently from standard tungsten bulbs. These are low-pressure tungsten halogen lamps—they heat the food or merchandise directly in their path through radiant energy, rather than heating the surrounding air. That means the heat reaches your display quickly and doesn't waste energy warming the whole counter space. The result is focused, efficient heating where you need it.

At only 0.03 kg, the bulb itself is negligible weight—you'll be handling the fixture more than the bulb. Installation is straightforward if you're replacing an existing lamp: switch off power, allow the old bulb to cool if hot, unscrew and discard the old unit, screw in the new one, and restore power. Check that your fixture is rated for 200W at 240V before ordering—if your existing bulb was a different wattage, you'll need to match that instead.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

Check your existing heat-lamp fixture. If the bulb is linear (straight, not coiled), 118 mm long, and your fixture is labelled for 200W at 240V, this is your replacement. If you're unsure of the wattage or voltage, photograph the existing bulb or fixture label and ask us before ordering.

Tungsten halogen quartz bulbs typically run for 1,000–2,000 hours of continuous operation. In a busy takeaway or bakery running a lamp 8–12 hours a day, you'll get 6–12 months from a bulb. They don't fade gradually in most cases—they tend to fail or blacken suddenly when they've reached end-of-life.

Switch off power at the wall and allow any old bulb to cool completely (they run hot). Remove the old bulb by unscrewing gently—don't force it. Screw the new bulb in by hand until snug; don't overtighten. Restore power and check that heat output restarts. Never touch a quartz bulb with bare hands once installed—skin oils can shorten bulb life; if you accidentally touch it, clean it with a lint-free cloth before use.

Infrared heat is directional—it radiates downward from the lamp fixture and heats what's directly in the beam. You'll get best results if the bulb is positioned 300–500 mm above food level. That's the typical height for over-counter display lamps, so your existing fixture is probably already optimised for this bulb.

240V single-phase, standard UK supply. This bulb draws 200W, so it can run on any ring circuit provided you're not running multiple high-load appliances simultaneously. Check your fixture is rated for 240V and 200W before installing.

First, check that power is reaching the fixture (is there a switch, and is it on?). If you're getting no light or heat after installation, the fault may be with the socket, not the bulb. For technical support, contact 01792 732702.
