The Hatco LW-2 Double Bulb Food Warmer is a portable infrared holding unit designed to maintain serving temperatures for a wide range of hot foods in front-of-house applications. Featuring two 250-watt heat bulbs, it delivers focused overhead heat to help keep appetizers, fried foods, and prepared menu items warm and ready for service.
Its adjustable-height stand allows operators to fine-tune heat intensity based on food type and holding requirements, while the elevated design improves insulation by keeping pans above the countertop surface.

The Hatco LW-2 Double Bulb Food Warmer is a portable infrared heat lamp unit designed for maintaining safe serving temperatures in front-of-house foodservice applications.
This model uses two 250-watt clear infrared bulbs to provide direct overhead heat. The radiant heat is focused downward onto food pans, helping maintain temperature and presentation quality for prepared foods such as appetizers, fried items, and plated sides.
The base is designed to accommodate one full-size pan, two half-size pans, or three third-size pans, making it adaptable for different service setups. The adjustable stand allows the lamp height to be varied between approximately 10.5" and 16.5" above the food surface, enabling control over heat intensity and coverage.
Unlike enclosed strip heaters, this unit provides open, targeted heat from above, which is useful for maintaining crisp textures in fried foods while keeping items warm at the point of service. The vented lamp design and heavy-duty sockets support continuous commercial use.
The powder-coated stand elevates food pans above the countertop, improving heat circulation and reducing heat loss. The unit includes a 6-foot power cord with an in-line switch positioned outside the heat zone for convenient and safer operation.
Certified to CE, cUL, UL, and UL EPH standards, the LW-2 is a compact, flexible lamp-style food warmer designed for restaurants, cafeterias, and concession environments where portable, adjustable heat holding is required.
