Under the warmth of food heat lamp, keep pre-made food heat lamps such as knishes, hot dogs, pretzels, and French fries warm and ready to be served. In delis, cafeterias, and self-service restaurants, a food lamp preserves the quality and freshness of prepared food while allowing it to be stored. For your food service needs, we carry a variety of food heat lamps. Heat lamps with fixed overheads are ideal for placing food directly beneath the heat source, or heat lamps with flexible arms can be maneuvered to the desired distance to maintain the ideal serving temperature. Additionally, we offer food heat lamps with carving stations for catered events and action stations. In addition, our food warmer light bulbs and other accessories will keep your food warmers in good working order.

Hanging Food Heat Lamp

With our retractable hanging, you can ensure your food is served at the right temperature. Our heat lamps use 250-watt infrared bulbs to keep food warm. Any food establishment will feel more welcoming with the classic reflector hood display. These food heat lamps feature a scratch-resistant finish.

How Does A Food Heat Lamp Work?

Unlike food warmers, heat lamps do not have complex features, so they have many of the same properties as a regular bulb. A thin filament of tungsten wire is often used in food heat lamps, which is surrounded by an inert gas. By acting as an electrical resistor, the filament rejects the stream of electricity. The resistor is converted into heat when the current flows through it. With an increase in temperature, the filament produces a lot of heat and glows brightly.

Heat Lamp For Home Use

Food can be kept warm at home in an innovative way with the Bon Home Culinary. The heat lamp provides convenience in a variety of situations, such as at a carving station or buffet.

Short Wave Heat Lamps

What is the hottest light bulb? There are three main types of infrared lamps: long wave, short wave, and short wave infrared. Using it for more intensive and direct heating tasks, as well as for covering greater distances outdoors, is recommended. They warm up almost instantly and can be used for a quick blast of warmth aimed directly at a subject. Almost all of their energy is transferred directly to the bulb, so very little is wasted in warming the air around it. It can be used as an outdoor patio heater, especially if the radiated warmth needs to travel over a long distance quickly to reach an object or person. A short wave infrared heater performs well in windy conditions and makes quick work of highly focused tasks such as curing and drying paint. It is less effective at raising ambient air temperature as it has little effect on low molecular density areas. The intense heat and light it emits make it unsuitable for close-range or indoor use.

Medium Wave Heat Lamps

Warming a room with medium wave infrared heaters is more effective than short wave heaters. Persons and objects are more easily able to absorb their heat, but it is less transmissible at distance. It takes them about 30 seconds to ramp up. They are almost as good at dispersing warmth into the air as they are at directly heating solid surfaces. Approximately 60% of their output is direct heat, while 40% is used to warm the surrounding space. Due to their ineffectiveness in windy conditions, they are less suitable for outdoor use.
