Making Infrared Heaters That Actually Work in the Rain (and Your Smart Home)

We build IPX5-rated infrared heaters because, let’s be honest, bathrooms and patios are messy. They’re wet. If you put a standard heater in there, you’re basically asking for a short circuit. The IPX5 rating is just a fancy way of saying our chassis and electrical joints can take a direct hit from water jets and keep on ticking. It gives you peace of mind. No panic if things get a bit splashy.

Getting Your Bathroom Infrared Heat Just Right

If you’re putting infrared lamps in a bathroom, you’re playing a balancing act between staying warm and not blowing a fuse. First thing: look for an IPX5 rating. Don’t skip this. It basically means the unit can take a spray of water from any direction without dying. Without that rating, one unlucky shower spray and your circuitry is toast.

How much power do you actually need?

You don’t want to just throw the biggest lamp you can find at the wall. If you’ve got a tiny bathroom—we’re talking under 4m²—something in the 250W to 400W range is plenty. If you go overboard here, you’ll either trigger the thermal cutoff or feel like you’re being baked alive in a sauna. Not exactly the vibe you want after a shower. For those bigger bathrooms (6m² to 10m²), you’ll need a bump up to 600W or 800W. But here’s a pro tip: instead of one massive, scorching lamp, go with two smaller ones. It spreads the heat around better. You won’t have those annoying “cold spots” where you’re shivering in one corner while the other side of the room is roasting.
