You&rsquo;ve got steam everywhere and water splashing just about every surface. In a place like that, basic wiring just won&rsquo;t cut it. If you don&rsquo;t stop current from leaking into the metal frame, you&rsquo;re looking at a nasty ground fault.</p> <h2 id="dealing-with-the-damp">Dealing with the Damp</h2> <p>The real secret is in the materials. To keep things truly insulated, the heating element needs to be tucked inside high-purity quartz or ceramic. These materials don&rsquo;t just give up when they get damp. But here is the thing: the ends of the lamps are where most people mess up. You need sealed terminals. If water creeps into the base, it creates a little bridge for the electricity to jump from the live wire straight into the housing. Not great. Depending on where you&rsquo;re hanging the lamp, look for an IP44 or IP65 rating. It&rsquo;s basically a shorthand for &ldquo;how much water can this thing actually handle?&rdquo;</p>
