Keeping Your Bathroom Infrared Heaters from Becoming a Hazard

Putting infrared lamps in a bathroom is a bit of a balancing act. You’ve got high wattage on one side and a room full of steam and splashes on the other. If the insulation isn’t spot on, you’re looking at a short circuit—and that’s a nightmare nobody wants.

Getting the Isolation Right

To stop electricity from leaking through damp air, you have to obsess over the connection points. We stick with high-grade ceramic insulators and sealed terminals. Why? Because it stops “tracking.” That’s basically when moisture creates a little bridge for the electricity to travel across the insulator. Also, don’t cheap out on the wiring. It needs to be rated for high heat. If the jacket melts, you’ve got live wires sitting in a cloud of steam. Not great. We usually go with IP65-rated enclosures. They keep the guts of the machine bone-dry but let the heat pass through a tempered glass or quartz shield without a problem.
