A short-wave infrared replacement lamp should be ordered from verified electrical, dimensional and installation data. A description such as “halogen lamp” or a machine model alone is rarely sufficient. The RFQ should make it possible to compare compatibility, documentation and testing—not just price.

Start With the Original Lamp Identity

Record the manufacturer, complete part number, machine model and position in the heating bank. Photograph all markings before the failed lamp is removed or discarded.


Verify Electrical Requirements

Confirm voltage, wattage, circuit arrangement and controller type. When the label is damaged, use machine documentation and qualified electrical measurements rather than assuming from tube length.


Provide a Dimensioned RFQ

RFQ field Required information Why it matters
Tube Diameter, total and heated length Fit and heat distribution
Ends Cold ends, caps, leads and connectors Mounting and wiring
Reflector Gold, ceramic or clear; coverage and clocking Radiation direction
Quantity Immediate need and annual usage Production and spares plan

Compare Quotations by Compatibility

Ask for a drawing, tolerances, test method, packaging, lead time and change-control process. Review YFR short-wave lamps and custom replacement tubes.


Approve the First Article

Inspect resistance, dimensions, seals, reflector orientation and terminals before installation. Then compare current, temperature profile and product quality with the approved original reference.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can a machine model identify the exact lamp?

Not always. Machines may have different revisions and heating positions.

Is equal wattage enough for replacement?

No. Voltage, dimensions, termination and optical details must also match.

Should the old lamp be shipped?

Clear measurements and photos may be enough, but a sample helps when data are incomplete.

How many spares should be ordered?

Base the quantity on installed population, failure history and replenishment lead time.


Prepare a Replacement RFQ

Send YFR the lamp code, drawing, photographs and operating data for a compatibility review.
