You&rsquo;ve got steam everywhere, constant condensation, and temperature swings that would make most hardware buckle. It’s basically a torture chamber for a heater. That’s why we don&rsquo;t just focus on how much heat these lamps put out. We focus on how they survive the damp.</p> <h2 id="the-battle-against-steam">The battle against steam</h2> <p>Steam is sneaky. It finds every tiny gap in a housing seal and settles right on the quartz tube and electrical terminals. If a connector—like the R7s or SK15—isn&rsquo;t airtight, you&rsquo;re looking at a short circuit. Not great. To stop that from happening, we put our units through what I call &ldquo;the gauntlet.&rdquo; We toss them into high-humidity chambers and flip the power on and off repeatedly. It simulates years of steamy showers in just a few hundred hours. If there&rsquo;s a flaw in the build, we want it to break here, on our floor, not in your bathroom.</p>
