Noblelight Carbon Infrared Emitter CIR®
A carbon heating filament inside the Golden 8 twin tube — medium-wave radiation at high power density, but with a response time in seconds. On water-based coatings it does the same drying job as a short-wave emitter on up to 30% less energy.

Key Benefits
Why Choose the Noblelight Carbon Infrared Emitter CIR®
Carbon heating filament — medium-wave radiation with a 1–2 s response time
Up to 30% less energy than short-wave emitters when drying water-based coatings
Medium-wave radiation is absorbed particularly well by water, glass and many plastics
Twin tube (the “Golden 8”) for double power and mechanical stability
Also available as a round tube
Gold reflector for directed radiation; robust ceramic lamp base
