We see it all the time. A buyer picks a replacement lamp because the wattage and length <a href="https://o-yate.net">match</a> the manual, but then the preform comes out warped or the tube pops in <a href="https://o-yate.com">three</a> months. The lamp usually isn&rsquo;t the problem. It&rsquo;s everything around it.</p> <h2 id="its-all-about-the-heat">It&rsquo;s All About the Heat</h2> <p>SWIR is powerful. It hits materials like PET or HDPE hard and deep. But when we talk about 230V or 400V, we&rsquo;re not just chatting about power—we&rsquo;re talking about heat density. If you cram a high-wattage tube into a tiny space, you&rsquo;re creating a thermal pressure cooker. If your reflectors are pitted or your airflow is clogged, that heat has nowhere to go. It bounces right back into the quartz envelope. The glass stresses out, and then it fails. Simple as that.</p>
