R125

A large 125-millimetre reflector lamp commonly used for radiant heating and high-output specialty applications.

Available Bulb Base

A large 125-millimetre reflector lamp commonly used for radiant heating and high-output specialty applications.

How to identify R125

R identifies a reflector envelope and 125 indicates an approximate maximum diameter of 125 millimetres. Clear and red hard-glass infrared versions are common.

Common applications

Animal care, veterinary equipment, food warming, industrial drying, bathrooms and radiant-heating equipment.

Technologies and base options

The format is strongly associated with incandescent infrared lamps, although visible-light and LED reflector versions may be available in some markets.

Technologies represented in this library: LED, Incandescent, Infrared.

Available base types: E26, E27.

Typical market availability

LED

Common wattage: 12–25 W

Typical output: 1000–2500 lm

Colour temperature / output: 2700K–6500K

Voltage: 120V; 220–240V

Notes: Visible-light reflector versions; availability varies.

Incandescent

Common wattage: 100–250 W

Typical output: 900–3500 lm

Colour temperature / output: Approximately 2700K–3000K

Voltage: 120V; 220–240V

Notes: Visible-light reflector versions are less common than infrared heat lamps.

Infrared

Common wattage: 100–375 W

Typical output: Not the primary performance metric

Colour temperature / output: Clear or red infrared output

Voltage: 120V; 220–250V

Notes: Selected by radiant-heat performance and application rating rather than lumens.

These are representative market ranges, not guaranteed limits. Availability varies by manufacturer, voltage, base, beam, finish, region and product generation.

How to select the correct lamp

Match the base, voltage, wattage, reflector diameter, hard-glass or finish requirement, operating position and equipment approval.

Compatibility and safety

R125 heat lamps become extremely hot. Use only heat-rated sockets and guards, maintain clearance and protect people, animals and materials from excessive exposure.

Important: The library describes a lamp format, not a particular product. A shared shape does not guarantee matching voltage, base, dimensions, light distribution or control requirements. Confirm the fixture label and product datasheet, or ask a Bulb World lighting specialist.

Replacement Notes

Match the base, voltage, wattage, reflector diameter, hard-glass or finish requirement, operating position and equipment approval.

Capability Warning

R125 heat lamps become extremely hot. Use only heat-rated sockets and guards, maintain clearance and protect people, animals and materials from excessive exposure.
