Introduction
We built this far infrared carbon sauna heater to be one thing: a direct blast of warmth that gets deep into your muscles, fast. It’s all about that deep-tissue heat, right there in your sauna. Inside, you’ve got a carbon element paired with a halogen gas fill, all wrapped up in a special quartz envelope. The result? A steady, reliable stream of far infrared heat. And if you’re replacing an old heater, this one slides right in. Seriously. It’s a clean, straightforward swap.
The Power Behind the Heat
Here’s the thing about its power setup. It runs on 400V, which is a smart choice. It gives you serious heat output, but it keeps the current lower than a 230V unit would. That means you can use thinner wires and not worry about voltage dropping over longer runs. Plus, at 2500W, it gets hot—fast. But with that kind of power, you just need to make sure your control circuit and thermal protection are up to the task. And the size? The 300mm tube length is compact. It fits into tight spaces without ever feeling like you’re compromising on the heating surface.
What’s Inside, and Why It Matters
That halogen gas fill does more than you might think. It keeps the filament temperature steady, which means the heater gives you consistent, reliable output for years. The quartz envelope is built to take a beating. It’s highly resistant to thermal shock, so it won’t crack when it goes from hot to cold and back again. And we added a reflective coating on the outside. It pushes more energy forward, so you get more usable radiant heat and less is wasted. The R7s connector is a simple detail that makes a big difference. It’s a standard, double-ended fitting that locks in securely and keeps the lamp perfectly aligned. No fuss, no wiggle—just a solid, straight fit, especially when you’re wiring things up in a tight spot.
What It Feels Like in Your Sauna
When you’re in the sauna, this thing is different. The far infrared heat just sinks in, way better than the usual convection heat. It warms you up faster, and the heat feels more even across the surface. The compact 300mm size makes it a breeze to retrofit into an existing setup. And that 400V/2500W combo gives you serious power without overloading your circuit—as long as your control panel and cooling are properly set up. Just keep one thing in mind. With all that heat density, you need to make sure there’s enough airflow and heat sinking. It’s how you keep both the lamp and the socket in their safe zone.
