Keeping Infrared Heaters Safe in Wet Spots

Putting infrared lamps in a steamy bathroom or a damp pergola sounds great until you realize you’re mixing high heat with water vapor. That’s a recipe for short circuits and leakage currents. When steam condenses on a heating element, it basically builds a bridge for electricity to go where it shouldn’t. To stop that from happening, we focus on two big things: the barrier and the seals.

Getting the Materials Right

Standard quartz tubes just don’t cut it in wet zones. We use specialized coatings or sealed envelopes to keep the live filament completely tucked away from the outside world. The goal is simple: keep the electricity inside the tube, no matter how much moisture is clinging to the surface. We put these units through some pretty brutal voltage tests to make sure the insulation doesn’t just snap under pressure.
