The Vollrath 60W Teflon-coated shatterproof A15 bulb is the replacement or upgrade bulb for Cayenne Heat Strip units. The Teflon coating bonds the glass fragments in the event of breakage, preventing glass shards from falling onto food below — the critical food safety feature that distinguishes commercial shatterproof bulbs from standard glass bulbs in any application where a bulb is positioned above food.
At 60W, this bulb provides the higher wattage output option for Cayenne Heat Strip installations where maximum heat retention is the priority. Compatible with Cayenne Heat Strip units.
Replacement bulbs in commercial food service heat lamp applications serve two functions: maintaining the heat output that keeps food at safe serving temperatures, and maintaining the safety standard that prevents glass contamination of food below. The Vollrath 60W Teflon-coated shatterproof A15 bulb addresses both in the Cayenne Heat Strip format.
The Teflon coating is the food safety critical feature of this bulb. When a standard glass bulb breaks in a heat lamp position above food, the glass shards fall directly onto the food below — creating a contamination event that wastes the food, risks guest injury, and requires immediate cleaning of the affected service area. Teflon-coated shatterproof bulbs are constructed so that the coating bonds the glass in the event of breakage, preventing shard dispersal. This is not just a quality-of-life feature; in many commercial kitchen environments, uncoated glass bulbs above open food displays are a health code violation.
At 60W, this is the higher-wattage option between Vollrath's 40W and 60W Cayenne Heat Strip replacement bulbs. The higher wattage produces more heat output per bulb — appropriate for larger food volumes, lower ambient temperature environments, or service situations where faster heat recovery between customer interactions is needed. Operations that have found 40W bulbs insufficient for their food temperature maintenance needs can upgrade to 60W in the same Cayenne Heat Strip fixture.
Compatible with existing Cayenne Heat Strip installations as a direct replacement for worn or failed bulbs, or as an upgrade from the 40W specification when higher heat output is desired.
