Stop Scrubbing Your Bathroom: A Better Way to Handle Mold
Most people think of an infrared lamp as just a fancy way to stay warm while you’re getting ready in the morning. But there’s more to it than that. If you put these in the dampest parts of your bathroom, you’re doing more than just heating the air. You’re actually attacking the moisture on your walls before mold even gets a chance to move in. How it actually works Standard heaters just warm up the air, which can actually make condensation worse on cold tiles. Not these. Our lamps use short-wave radiation that sinks right into your grout and tiles. It basically makes the water molecules vibrate, pushing the moisture out and into the air so it evaporates. It’s like a quiet, invisible dehumidifier. You get dry walls without having to keep a loud exhaust fan screaming in your ear 24/7. Built for the steam Let’s be honest: bathrooms are a nightmare for electronics. Steam gets everywhere. To stop things from shorting out, we used sealed quartz envelopes and heavy-duty waterproof gaskets. The best part? It’s instant. No waiting around for an oil radiator to slowly warm up. You flip the switch, and you feel the heat immediately. A few things to keep in mind Now, here is the catch. These lamps pull a lot of power. If you’re putting these into an old house, please check your wiring first. Thin, old wires can’t handle a few 600W or 1000W lamps without overheating. You don’t want to be tripping your breakers every time you take a shower. Also, because the heat is so intense, don’t mount them too low. You don’t want to accidentally burn your skin or melt a plastic soap dispenser. I’d suggest wiring them to a timer. That way, you get the dryness you need without running up a massive electric bill.
