What does the PAR38 Clear Infrared Heating Lamp do?

Date:2023-02-28
A PAR38 clear infrared heat lamp is a type of incandescent light bulb that is designed to emit infrared radiation to provide heat. It is typically used in heating applications where targeted heat is needed, such as in outdoor patios, animal enclosures, or industrial processes.
The PAR38 designation refers to the type of bulb shape and size. PAR stands for "parabolic aluminized reflector" and 38 refers to the diameter of the bulb in eighths of an inch, or 4.75 inches in this case.
The clear glass envelope of the bulb allows the infrared radiation to pass through, while the reflector on the back of the bulb helps direct the heat in a specific direction. The bulb typically operates at a high temperature, with a filament made of tungsten wire that is heated to emit infrared radiation.
PAR38 clear infrared heat lamps come in a variety of wattages and voltages and can be used in different fixtures depending on the application. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and use to ensure safe and effective operation.
