For a lot of jobs, that works just fine. But if you&rsquo;re working with quartz tubes that have specific additives, a &ldquo;one size fits all&rdquo; lamp is basically throwing energy away. Here&rsquo;s why: those additives are picky. They only soak up heat at very specific wavelengths. If your lamp is pushing energy at 2.5 microns but your glass only cares about 3.2 microns, the heat just bounces right off. It&rsquo;s like trying to unlock a door with the wrong key.</p>
