Filter Out Infared

[biggirlkisss]

is there a way other then water to remove infared from 130volt incandescent bulbs i want to try a 1500 watt but it infared so strong i wouldn't be able to bring it close to me.

You've found (a) 1500 Watt incandescent bulb/s? And a way to install and connect it/them safely? That surprises me.
If you haven't figured out a safe way to use a 300 Watt bulb yet, then please don't attempt 1500 Watts.

If you have solved all the safety issues, then I'd recommend just not bringing it too close. Don't let yourself get uncomfortably hot.

Getting some of that infrared is part of the point of getting the incandescent bulbs. Why do you want to filter it out?

infared isnt as good as 600-670nm

I think there are people here suggesting benefits from some other wavelengths too. Maybe it depends what for. There are some long threads.

If you want a very narrow frequency range, have you looked into LEDs? They use less power, and therefore pose less fire hazard.

ya but the cri is like 80-85 so the red and orange don't come out as rich and they are difficult to build when buying chip heatsink etc.

Is the CRI the 850 nm security light? i agree with Tara, you can get a 660 nm red light on amazon for 20 bucks

I don't think getting wired for 1500 Watts would come cheap.

no i was talking about cri for warm white led chip or bulb 3000k or 2700k
