Reflector lamps often bore with infrared fixtures to increase light output often used for fiber optic illumination, machine vision, and other optical systems requiring high output. Infrared fixtures come with gold-coated reflectors often used for open field IR gas detection, local infrared heating, and remote testing of flame detectors.

IR fixtures with laser beam wavelengths have ideal applications in large industrial infrastructure facilities including power plants, chemical plants and public areas such as dams and reservoirs and entertainment complexes. Infrared fixtures also used for camera lighting for detection. These cameras used by satellites in space to measure the temperature of the ocean and to study Earth s weather condition.

A wide range of IR fixtures is manufactured by a host of manufacturers.
