Making Bathroom Heaters That Actually Last

Let’s be honest: bathrooms are a nightmare for electronics. You’ve got thick steam, wild temperature swings, and humidity that just won’t quit. It’s basically a death trap for electrical components. That’s why we don’t just “hope” our lamps hold up. We try to break them in the lab first.

The Battle Against Steam

Water vapor is a sneaky thing. It finds its way through seals and settles right on the quartz envelope and the electrode contacts. Once that happens, you get oxidation. Even worse, you get “tracking,” which is just a fancy way of saying the electricity jumps where it shouldn’t and shorts the whole thing out. To stop that, we put our lamps through a bit of torture. We lock them in chambers with 95% humidity and swing the temperature back and forth for hundreds of hours. We’re hunting for the tiniest leak. If a microscopic bit of air gets into that quartz tube’s vacuum seal? The tungsten filament is gone in seconds.Poof.
