Saro Clyde HLS3250 Heat Lamp 250W Adjustable Chrome

The Saro Clyde (HLS3250) is a suspended heat lamp with a chrome finish shade of 225 mm diameter, adjustable in drop from 60 to 130 cm. It runs a 250 W Teflon-coated globe on a standard E27 screw fitting, with the on/off switch on the shade itself.

Why operators choose the HLS3250

• Teflon-coated globe — the coating holds the glass together if the globe ever shatters, so fragments are contained rather than falling into the food below. On a pass that is the reason to specify a coated globe rather than a plain one.
• Adjustable drop, 60 to 130 cm — the same lamp suits a low plating bench or a high pass. Drop height is what sets the intensity at the plate, so the adjustment is the control.
• Standard E27 screw fitting — replacement globes are an ordinary stocked item rather than a proprietary part, which matters when one blows mid-service.
• Switch on the shade — the lamp is switched where it hangs instead of at a wall point, so a chef turns it off at the pass without leaving the section.
• 225 mm chrome finish shade — shade diameter sets how wide the pool of heat falls. The 225 mm shade spreads it across a wider section of the pass.
• Part of a three-lamp range — the same lamp is also offered as Henry (HLS1250) and Bonnie (HLS2250) - the range differs in shade finish and diameter.

Specifications

Venue suitability

Suits restaurant and hotel passes, carvery and buffet stations, bistros and function kitchens - any point where plated food waits briefly between the section and the customer and has to stay at temperature without being cooked further.

Installation & delivery

Suspended from above, so it needs a fixing point and a power point within reach of the adjusted drop. Mounting into the ceiling structure should be done by a qualified trade. A globe is a consumable and the E27 fitting takes standard replacements. Delivered Australia-wide.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How far down does the HLS3250 adjust?

The drop adjusts between 60 and 130 cm, which is what sets the heat intensity at the plate.

Q: What globe does it take?

A 250 W Teflon-coated globe on a standard E27 screw fitting. Replacements are a standard stocked item.

Q: Why is the globe Teflon coated?

The coating holds the glass together if the globe shatters, so fragments are contained rather than dropping onto the food beneath it.

Q: What is the difference between the Henry, Bonnie and Clyde lamps?

Shade finish and diameter. The Henry HLS1250 has a 190 mm aluminium shade; the Bonnie HLS2250 is 225 mm in a copper finish and the Clyde HLS3250 is 225 mm in chrome. The globe, fitting and adjustment are the same.

Q: Where is the switch?

On the lamp shade itself, so it can be operated from the pass rather than at a wall switch.

Q: Does it need an electrician?

The lamp is suspended and needs a secure fixing point. Mounting into the ceiling structure and any new power point should be carried out by a qualified trade.
