Infrared lamp Philips PAR38 IR 150W E27 230V Red — PAR38 infrared heat lamp, 150W, E27, 230V

The Philips PAR38 IR 150W E27 230V Red is an infrared heat lamp designed to deliver focused warmth in applications that require targeted IR radiation. The PAR38 form factor and standard E27 screw base make it compatible with many fixtures that accept PAR38 bulbs. With a 150W power rating and 230V operating voltage, the lamp produces a concentrated red infrared beam useful for heating, food warming, and local comfort or therapeutic warming where direct radiant heat is needed.

Advantages

The lamp provides concentrated infrared output from a PAR38-sized envelope, enabling efficient local heating with minimal light emission. Its standard E27 screw base simplifies installation and replacement in compatible fixtures. The red-coated envelope reduces visible glare while maintaining strong IR delivery, and the 150W power level balances heat intensity and energy use for many small- to medium-scale heating tasks.

Suitable for

• Food warming lamps in service counters and buffet displays
• Local warming in workshops, bathrooms, or outdoor covered areas
• Therapeutic or comfort heating where directed infrared is appropriate
• Incubation or animal care setups requiring focused heat

How to use

Install the lamp into a compatible E27 fixture rated for PAR38 bulbs and the lamp’s power rating; ensure the fixture and any protective guards are suitable for infrared heat lamps. Position the lamp so the focused infrared beam is directed at the area requiring warmth, keeping recommended clearances from combustible materials and from people or animals to avoid overheating. Operate the lamp on the specified 230 V supply and switch off before replacing. Allow the lamp to cool before handling.

Usage recommendations

Use the lamp in fixtures designed for heat lamps and ensure adequate ventilation around the installation. Maintain safe distances from flammable materials and avoid prolonged close exposure to direct IR radiation. For food warming, follow local hygiene and temperature guidelines to ensure safe holding temperatures.
