Truly Efficient Infrared Heating Systems

The small amount of energy that is not reflected by the gold or white layer is conducted through the ceramic body to an optional insulated layer of ceramic fiber. This highly efficient system of insulating layers guarantees that very little heat energy is wasted to the surrounding environment.
At 0.8μm the temperature of the tungsten element on a halogen IR lamp is ~2600°C (4712°F). The temperature in the outer surface of a VS Apollo Glow is less than 600°C (1112°F) with a ΔT of 2000°C (3632°F) at a distance of 0.75 inches.
