Infresco-S Protect Soft-Start 4kW: Infrared Lamp Life Extender

The Infresco-S Protect Soft-Start 4kW is a compact, high-efficiency controller designed to extend heater lamp life while improving energy efficiency in infrared heating and lighting applications. Specifically developed for use with quartz infrared halogen lamps and other resistive heating or lighting loads, this controller focuses on reducing electrical stress caused by high inrush currents during switch-on.

Built around a microcontroller-based control system, the Infresco-S 4kW employs advanced soft-start technology and zero-voltage switching, ensuring lamps are energised smoothly and safely. By minimising electrical shock at start-up, the controller can extend lamp life by up to 30%, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. Its simple installation, robust IP-rated enclosure, and low maintenance requirements make it an ideal solution for both commercial and industrial environments.
