Soldering lamp Guilbert Express E8700 1.6 kW (soldering heat lamp)

The Guilbert Express E8700 1.6 kW soldering heat lamp is a compact device engineered for localized high-output heating in plumbing, roofing and repair tasks. It supplies a concentrated heat source suitable for soldering pipes, softening and melting roofing bitumen, heat-shrinking materials, and carrying out spot repairs where controlled, intense heat is required. Designed for both professional tradespeople and experienced DIY users, the unit combines portability with a stable heat output for frequent on-site use.

Advantages

This soldering lamp delivers a high thermal output of 1.6 kW in a compact form factor, providing rapid and focused heating. Its design supports precise work on metal joints and roofing membranes while remaining portable for site-to-site transport. The unit offers consistent performance for repetitive tasks and is suitable for use with common soldering and roofing materials, enabling efficient localized heating without the need to heat large surrounding areas.

Suitable for

• Soldering and brazing copper and other metal plumbing joints
• Melting and softening bitumen and roofing membranes for repairs
• Heat-shrinking plastic tubing and insulation sleeves
• Local spot repairs and maintenance where concentrated heat is required

Key specifications

• Nominal power output: 1.6 kW
• Heat source type: concentrated spot heat lamp suitable for soldering and heating
• Application areas: plumbing, roofing, repair and maintenance work
• Design: compact and portable for mobile use
• Suitable for use with common soldering materials and roofing bitumen

How to use

Position the heat lamp at the recommended distance from the workpiece to achieve a focused heating area, taking care to maintain a safe separation from flammable materials. Pre-clean and prepare metal surfaces or roofing membranes to ensure efficient heat transfer. Apply heat evenly to the target area until the solder flows or the bitumen softens to the required consistency, then proceed with joining or repair operations. Allow heated components to cool under controlled conditions before handling.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including heat-resistant gloves and eye protection. Ensure adequate ventilation when working with bitumen or adhesives and keep a fire extinguisher accessible. Follow local safety regulations and the manufacturer's operational guidelines for safe and effective use.
