Can I use this in a 3000W heater?

What does the 'Ruby' designation mean?

Troubleshooting

Heater does not turn on after bulb replacement.

Ensure the heater is properly plugged in and the power source is active. Double-check that the new bulb is correctly seated and the fly leads are securely connected. Verify the heater's internal fuse or circuit breaker, if applicable.

New bulb flickers or works intermittently.

Check the connections at the ceramic end caps and fly leads for any looseness or corrosion. Ensure the bulb is fully inserted into its sockets. A faulty power connection to the heater itself could also be the cause.

Bulb breaks during installation.

Handle the bulb carefully, especially near the glass. Ensure you are not forcing it into place. Refer to the heater's manual for specific installation guidance. Do not attempt to install if the bulb appears damaged.
