FAQs
What is the expected lifespan of this lamp?
This Gold Infrared Lamp is rated for an operational lifespan of up to 5000 hours under normal use conditions.
Can I use this lamp with a standard 120V outlet?
No, this lamp requires a 240V power supply and is not compatible with standard 120V outlets.
What does 'SK15 ends' refer to?
SK15 refers to the specific type of electrical connection or fitting at each end of the lamp, designed for compatibility with particular heating fixtures.
How should I clean the lamp?
Always ensure the lamp is cool and disconnected from power. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid liquids or abrasive cleaners.
Is this lamp suitable for indoor use?
While designed for general heating applications, its suitability for specific indoor environments depends on the safety regulations and installation requirements of that space. Always adhere to local building codes and fixture manufacturer guidelines.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as it can vary.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not illuminate
Verify that the power source is providing 240V and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure the lamp is correctly seated in its fixture and that the fixture itself is operational.
Flickering light or inconsistent heat
Check for loose connections at the power source or within the fixture. Ensure the voltage supply is stable and consistent. A failing lamp may also exhibit this behavior and require replacement.
Lamp emits a strong odor upon first use
A slight odor may be present during the initial burn-in period as manufacturing residues dissipate. This should subside within the first hour of operation. If the odor is strong or persists, disconnect power and contact support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the power supply is rated for 240V and can handle the 1000W load. Verify that your heater fixture is designed to accept the SK15 end fittings and the 350mm lamp length. Carefully insert the lamp into the fixture's sockets, ensuring a secure connection. Always disconnect power before installation or removal.
Compatibility: This lamp is compatible with heating units specifically designed for 1000W, 240V operation and featuring SK15 end connections. It is not a direct replacement for lamps with different wattage, voltage, or end fittings.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and lifespan, periodically clean the lamp's surface with a soft, dry cloth when the lamp is completely cool and disconnected from power. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Inspect the lamp and fixture for any signs of damage before each use.
