The Norman Lamps PFA-250R4010230 is a 250W, 230V incandescent infrared heat lamp built on the BR40 reflector platform with a 5.00 in. diameter and an E26 medium screw base. Designed specifically for infrared warming and specialty heating applications, this lamp operates across a 220–250V input range and delivers focused radiant heat through a ruby red glass envelope with a 60-degree beam angle at approximately 2850K output. As an infrared heat lamp, it falls outside the U.S. Department of Energy General Service Incandescent Lamp (GSIL) definition and remains available at full 250W output for applications that require sustained, high-intensity heat.

The defining feature of this incandescent infrared lamp is its high-temperature PFA Tuff-Coat shatter resistant coating applied directly over the glass envelope. The PFA material combines extreme temperature resistance with high clarity, excellent adhesion, and high impact strength. Should the bulb ever be broken, the coating contains glass fragments within the film rather than allowing them to scatter — a critical safety characteristic for food-contact and food-adjacent environments. The lamp carries NSF Component approval and is recognized as Food Service Industry Approved, making it well suited for commercial kitchen heat stations, buffet warming wells, carving stations, restaurant heat lamps, and similar foodservice holding equipment. The heat-shielded base and heavy-duty glass and filament construction are engineered for reliable performance in high-temperature environments.

With a rated life of 6,000 life hours and full dimmer compatibility, this infrared BR40 reflector lamp offers operational flexibility and long service intervals for demanding commercial and industrial installations. It ships as a single unit and is available in a case quantity of 12.
