Delivery Information

Price Match

This 220mm infrared quartz bulb is a replacement heat lamp bulb designed for use in commercial pass lamps, chip dump heaters, and other hot holding equipment. It operates at 300W and uses the widely standardised R7 push-in cap fitting, encased in a quartz glass sleeve that protects the element during service.

Infrared quartz bulbs of this type are a staple in commercial kitchens because they deliver heat almost instantly on switch-on, with no warm-up period. That makes them well suited to pass situations where consistent radiant heat is needed throughout service and where a failed bulb needs to be swapped out quickly with minimal disruption. The quartz sleeve offers reasonable durability in the hot, humid conditions typical of a busy pass.

From an operational standpoint, the R7 cap is one of the most common fittings across commercial heat lamp and pass equipment, which means this bulb is a straightforward like-for-like replacement in the majority of installations. Key practical points include:

  • Push-in R7 cap for quick, tool-free bulb changes mid-service
  • Instant heat output — no warm-up delay when switched on
  • Quartz glass sleeve protects the element and withstands kitchen heat
  • Suitable for pass lamps, chip dumps, and hot holding applications
  • Lightweight and easy to store as a spare on site

This bulb is appropriate for any kitchen running standard pass lamp or chip dump equipment with an R7 fitting. It is a consumable item and it is worth keeping at least one spare on site, as a failed heat lamp during a busy service is a common and easily avoided problem. It is not suitable for domestic or low-temperature applications.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if this bulb will fit my pass lamp or chip dump heater?

This bulb uses the R7 cap, which is the most widely used fitting across commercial pass lamps and chip dump heaters in the UK. Check your existing bulb or equipment manual for the cap type — if it states R7 and accepts a 220mm bulb, this will be a direct replacement. If you are unsure, our team can help you confirm compatibility before you order.

How often should these bulbs typically be replaced in a commercial kitchen?

Lifespan varies depending on how many hours per day the equipment runs and whether the bulbs are subject to temperature fluctuations or moisture exposure. In a busy kitchen running a pass lamp through double shifts, bulb changes every few months are not unusual. Keeping at least one spare on site is good practice to avoid an unplanned shutdown during service.

Is there a higher-wattage version available for sites needing more heat output?

Pass lamp and chip dump heaters are typically designed around specific bulb wattages, so it is important to match the replacement to what your equipment specifies rather than fitting a higher-wattage bulb to compensate for heat loss. If your current setup is struggling to maintain holding temperatures, the issue is more likely with the lamp housing, positioning, or ventilation — something our team can advise on.
