FAQs
What voltage does this lamp require?
This Ruby Infrared Lamp requires a 110V power supply.
What does 'R7S ends' mean?
R7S refers to the type of connection terminals on the ends of the lamp, which are standard for many quartz halogen and infrared tubes. These are typically double-ended and require specific holders.
Can I use this lamp in a 240V heater?
No, this lamp is rated for 110V. Using it on a 240V supply will cause it to burn out immediately and could damage the heating unit.
How long is the lamp?
The lamp is 348mm in length.
What specific heaters is this lamp a replacement for?
It is a direct replacement for the Rhino TQ3 and Clarke Devil models 355SP, 370SP, 370P, 370SPB, 370PB, 370SPC, and 371SP.
How should I handle the lamp during installation?
Handle the lamp carefully, preferably with clean gloves or a clean, dry cloth. Avoid touching the glass surface with bare fingers, as oils can lead to uneven heating and reduce its lifespan.
What is the wattage of this lamp?
This lamp has a wattage of 1000W.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on
Verify the power supply is connected and set to 110V. Check that the lamp is correctly seated in its R7S holders. Ensure the fixture's power switch is functional and the fuse (if applicable) is intact.
Lamp flickers or appears dim
Check the connection at the R7S ends for a secure fit. Ensure the power supply voltage is stable at 110V. There might be an issue with the heating unit itself or the power source.
Premature lamp failure
Ensure hands are clean or gloved when installing. Avoid touching the glass. Confirm the lamp is not over-volted (i.e., not used on a higher voltage circuit without a transformer) and that the fixture is not causing excessive vibration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the heating unit is powered off and completely cool before attempting to replace the lamp. Carefully remove the old lamp by unscrewing or unlatching its retaining mechanism. Insert the new Ruby Infrared Lamp, ensuring the R7S ends are securely seated in their holders. Reassemble the fixture. Always verify that your power supply is a stable 110V.
Compatibility: This lamp is a direct replacement for Rhino TQ3 and Clarke Devil models 355SP, 370SP, 370P, 370SPB, 370PB, 370SPC, and 371SP. It is also compatible with any fixture requiring a 348mm R7S-ended lamp operating at 110V and 1000W.
Care: Handle the lamp with care, avoiding touching the glass surface with bare hands, as oils can cause hot spots and premature failure. Use a clean, dry cloth or gloves for handling. Dust buildup on the lamp can reduce efficiency; gently wipe with a dry cloth when the lamp is cool and the unit is off.
