Food service area lamp ROCAM 020INAHALO2/1

A halogen bridge keeps plated dishes at serving temperature without drying or overcooking. Two infrared lamps generate focused radiant heat that warms the surface of the food while the interior stays moist. The heat is instant, so the unit reaches temperature as soon as it is switched on, and it stops the moment the lamps are turned off, giving precise control over holding times.

The operator places the plated dishes on the stainless steel shelf beneath the lamps. A clear Plexiglass sneezeguard surrounds the top, shielding the food from airborne particles while allowing full visibility. The sneezeguard's top edge doubles as a narrow work shelf for passing plates to and from the bridge. A spiral cable keeps the power lead tidy and off the worktop.

The bridge is built in AISI 304 stainless steel, chosen for corrosion resistance and hygiene. The two lamps are the only moving parts; they are switched on and off with a single illuminated rocker on the front panel. The unit stands on four adjustable feet, allowing the operator to level it on uneven floors.

A 2 GN 1/1 capacity means the bridge can hold two full-size gastronorm containers side by side, or a corresponding number of plated dishes. The 0.46 kW power rating draws a modest load from a standard 230 V single-phase circuit, suitable for most professional kitchens. The 21 kg weight allows one person to move the bridge when necessary, while the 796 mm width fits within a standard worktop run.

Cleaning is straightforward: the stainless steel surfaces and Plexiglass sneezeguard wipe down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The lamps themselves require no maintenance beyond occasional dusting. An optional white infrared lamp can be fitted at additional cost for operators who prefer a different colour temperature.

The Halo 2 is a free standing halogen bridge, designed to sit on a worktop or counter without permanent installation. It is placed where the serving line needs it, moved as the menu changes, and stored when not in use.
