The PFA-125R40/IR is a 125W incandescent infrared heat lamp from Norman Lamps, built on a BR40 reflector platform and rated for 120V operation with an E26 medium screw base. As an infrared heat lamp, approximately 90% of its energy is transmitted as infrared radiant heat, making it an efficient and instantly responsive heat source that can be accurately controlled for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications including food warming, drying, and curing.

The lamp features Norman Lamps' high-temperature PFA Tuff-Coat shatter resistant coating applied directly over the clear glass envelope. PFA (perfluoroalkoxy) is a specialized polymer material that combines extreme temperature resistance with high clarity and excellent adhesion, so that if the bulb is ever broken, glass fragments are contained within the coating film rather than scattering into surrounding areas. This makes the PFA-125R40/IR well suited for food service environments, commercial kitchens, warming stations, buffet lines, and other settings where glass contamination poses a safety or regulatory concern.

Unlike forced-air heating methods, this infrared incandescent heat lamp directly warms objects and surfaces within its beam path, delivering focused radiant warmth without needing to heat the entire surrounding space. The clear glass envelope maximizes infrared heat transmission for effective food warming, industrial drying, and curing applications. The lamp is fully dimmable, allowing adjustable heat output to suit varying application demands.

The BR40 reflector shape measures 5.00 inches in diameter and is rated for an average of 6,000 life hours, supporting extended commercial service intervals. As an infrared lamp with a primary purpose of providing heat, this product is excluded from the U.S. Department of Energy General Service Incandescent Lamp (GSIL) definition. It is sold as a single unit, with full cases available in quantities of 12.
