FAQs
What is the main advantage of the ruby jacket?
The ruby quartz jacket provides superior durability, extends the lamp's life, and reduces glare from the infrared heat, offering a more comfortable user experience.
Is this lamp suitable for all infrared heaters?
No, this lamp is specifically designed for heaters that use a 350mm R7S base and operate at 240V. Always check your heater's specifications.
How long does this lamp typically last?
The ruby jacket significantly extends the lamp's lifespan compared to standard infrared lamps, though exact duration depends on usage and operating conditions.
Can I use this lamp with a lower voltage or wattage fixture?
No, using this 1500W, 240V lamp in a fixture designed for lower specifications can cause damage to the fixture or lead to unsafe operating conditions.
How do I clean the lamp?
When the lamp is cool and unplugged, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid any liquids or abrasive cleaning agents.
What does R7S mean?
R7S refers to the double-ended base type of the lamp, characterized by two contacts at each end. The '350mm' indicates the overall length of the lamp.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on
Ensure the fixture is properly connected to a working 240V power source. Check that the lamp is correctly seated in its R7S sockets. Verify the fixture's switch or thermostat is functioning.
Flickering light or inconsistent heat
Inspect the R7S connections for any signs of corrosion or looseness. A faulty connection or an issue with the power supply to the fixture could be the cause.
Lamp breaks prematurely
While the ruby jacket enhances durability, extreme physical shock can still cause breakage. Ensure the lamp is securely installed and protected within its fixture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the power is turned off before replacing the lamp. Gently insert the R7S ends of the lamp into the designated sockets of your compatible heater. Ensure a secure fit.
Compatibility: This lamp is designed for fixtures that accept a 350mm R7S type bulb and operate at 240V. It is specifically recommended for heaters like the Rhino THE 3000. Always verify your existing fixture's specifications before purchase.
