How Do You Choose Between Different Heat Lamps?

When it comes to heat lamps, there are a lot of options out there. How do you know which one is right for your particular needs? Here are a few things to consider:

Style: Pull Down or Mounted?

There are two types of commercial heat lamps: pull down and mounted. 

Pull down lamps are great if you want to be able to move them around easily—they simply pull down from where they're mounted when needed, then retract back into place when not in use. This is the most economically viable option for overhead heating and is utilized in merchandising applications since they produce light in addition to warming. However, the tradeoff is that they generate less heat compared to other styles and can only cover a small area effectively. 

On the other hand, mounted heat lamps are perfect if you have plenty of space and want something that’s more powerful and looks more permanent.

Type of Heat Lamps

There are many different types of heat lamps available. You can choose between infrared, quartz, and fluorescent.

Infrared lamps are the most common type of heat lamp. They use bulbs that emit infrared radiation, which is absorbed by the food's water molecules and converted into heat energy. Infrared lamps are also called "convection" lamps because they use air currents to distribute heat. They can be placed either at the front or at the back of the house where more heat and no light are needed.

Quartz lamps provide a balance of heat and light, so they are perfect for both at the front and back of house settings. They are also quite efficient—this is important because it will help keep your bill low!

Fluorescent lights are another option when choosing a food heat lamp; they're very efficient and will keep your electricity costs down while providing bright light. However, since they have very little heat output, they are not used to keep food warm. Instead, these lamps are used in refrigerated spaces.

How much energy does it consume?

The wattage of a heat lamp refers to the amount of power that it draws from the wall socket. Usually, the higher the wattage, the brighter and hotter it will be. If you need a lot of light or heat output, look for lamps with higher wattage.
