Single Tube Short Wave Infrared Heater Lamps

Halogen lamps are incandescent lamps filled with highly pressurized halogen gas. This gas is combined with a small amount of bromine or iodine which causes tungsten atoms to regenerate by lessening the evaporation of the filament. This leads to a much longer life of halogen lamps than incandescent lamps. Due to the high pressure and temperature halogen lamps produce, they are relatively small and made out of quartz glass because it has a hotter melting point than standard glass.
