Picking the Right Infrared Lamp for Your Bathroom

Here’s a common mistake: thinking that the biggest lamp is always the best. It isn’t. If you just buy the highest wattage available, you’re mostly just throwing money away on your electric bill. The trick is matching the power to the actual size of your room. We use short-wave infrared because it doesn’t bother trying to heat up all that damp, chilly air. Instead, it goes straight for you. It’s that instant, cozy warmth you feel the second you flip the switch—even if the rest of the room is drafty. How much power do you actually need? If you’ve got a small bathroom (under 4m²), keep it simple. A 400W to 600W lamp is usually plenty. If you shove a 1000W unit into a tiny space, you’ll actually kill the lamp faster because it gets too hot for its own good. For those medium to larger bathrooms—somewhere between 6m² and 10m²—you’ll want to look at 800W to 1200W. Why? Because you’re usually standing further away from the light. Plus, if you have high ceilings, the heat has a longer way to travel. You need that extra kick to make sure the warmth actually reaches you before it vanishes into the ceiling. A few things to watch out for during install We build these with IP65 ratings. That’s just a fancy way of saying they’re sealed tight against steam and splashes. Don’t try to save a few bucks by using a non-sealed housing. Moisture and electricity don’t mix, and a short circuit is the last thing you want while you’re in the shower. And a quick heads-up on your wiring. High wattage means more pull on your electrical system. If you’re planning to put three 1000W lamps into an old bathroom circuit, you’re probably going to trip your breaker. Check your wire gauge and circuit capacity before you start drilling holes. One last tip: high-power lamps create a pretty tight “cone” of heat. It’s a concentrated warm zone. Since the heat doesn’t spread everywhere, placement is everything. Put the lamp directly over where you actually stand. That way, you’re stepping right into the warmth.
