Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Q1: What does “R7s” mean in relation to this lamp?

A1: R7s refers to the type of base (or cap) on the lamp. It’s a double-ended linear base, meaning the lamp has a cap at each end that slots into corresponding holders. The “220mm” indicates the length of the lamp.

Q2: How does a “jacketed” catering heat lamp differ from a standard one?

A2: A jacketed catering heat lamp has an additional protective glass layer or coating around the main heating element. This enhances safety by making the lamp more robust, less prone to shattering, and often provides a barrier against food splashes or moisture, crucial for catering environments.

Q3: Is the 8,000-hour service life accurate?

A3: Yes, this lamp is designed with a low-pressure technology that extends its service life significantly, achieving approximately 8,000 hours under typical operating conditions, which is about 60% longer than many comparable lamps.

Q4: Can these lamps be used in outdoor heated areas?

A4: While these lamps provide excellent heat, they are primarily designed for integration into indoor heated counters and food display units within the catering industry. For outdoor applications, you would need fixtures specifically rated for external use and lamps designed to withstand outdoor elements.

Q5: Do you supply other sizes or custom options?

A5: Yes, in addition to this 220mm lamp, we also stock 118mm and 216mm sizes. If your application requires different dimensions, we can arrange for custom-made lamps to meet your precise specifications.
