| M&R Rapid Start Medium Wave Infrared (IR) Lamps |
Ultra-fast starting medium wave quartz halogen lamps, with a distinctive "spiral" filament, compared to standard short wave or medium wave lamps.

The lamps are spring-loaded into the machine using an R7S fitting, with a pin fitting into the recessed tip at the end of the lamp. Most lamps are 240 volts/1,500 watts, and come in overall lengths of 15.4 inches (392mm), 17.8 inches (452mm), 20.25 inches (515mm), and 24.25 inches (616mm) and are all three-eighths of an inch in diameter.

| M&R Medium Wave Infrared (IR) Lamps |
Standard medium wave lamps, also using an R7S fitting, but with a metal overcap. Lamps typically measure one-half inch in diameter. Unlike quartz halogen lamps, these are not sealed at the ends- the filament is attached to the caps to hold them on.

| M&R Short Wave Infrared (IR) Lamps |
Standard quartz-halogen lamps. These use a variety of end fittings (such as R7S ceramic, ceramic blocks with wire leads, and metal sleeve with wire leads), and are also three-eighths of an inch in diameter.

| Sockets for M&R R7S (Spring-Mounted) IR Lamps |
When replacing lamps it's a good idea to check the sockets. Arcing can cause pitting and poor electrical contact and the high temperatures at which these lamps operate can cause the ceramic components to crack. These problems can shorten lamp life and cause premature lamp failure. We supply the replacement sockets for all M&R machines.
