Bathroom Ceiling Heat Lamp -- I could really use some advice or assistance A few years ago, as a birthday present to my partner, I had heat lamp professionally installed in the ceiling of our master bathroom. I'd like to know if it's reasonable and safe to install an infrared heat lamp in the bathroom wall instead of the ceiling. My logic behind this is that, when you get out of the shower on a cold day, it seems like an infrared heat lamp in the ceiling will only keep your head warm, but a lamp installed in the wall at around torso height will keep a whole side of your body warm.
I've installed. Nobody likes a chilly shower. Here's how a heat lamp can keep your bathroom warm and toasty no matter what time of year it is.
The shower gets cold and the light is on its own switch so I want to install a heat lamp. Can I simply replace the receptacle and install a moisture rated (if it exists) heat lamp bulb? Otherwise I do have an exhaust fan a few feet away I can swap for a fan/heat lamp combo. Just looks like a lot more work.
LPT - Use heat lamps in your bathroom instead of regular lights. Super bright AND they warm up the room so you aren't chilly in the morning before and after your shower. Home owner here.
I'm looking to replace the lightbulbs in my bathroom heat lamps, which by the look of it are close in age to me. I'm just wondering, can I just swap out the bulbs? There is a fan in there that I confirm still works, and when I took out the bulb, the socket says 250V/660W (which sounds pretty high, but electrical is not my forte). If I am able to replace it, any.
Sizes R40 and PAR40 should also fit, just the beam pattern is generally more narrow on those. If going for a non-red replacement heat lamp, just make sure to look inside the enclosure for a sticker or stamp that gives the max bulb wattage and don't exceed that with the new bulb. Wattages for BR40 incandescent can commonly range from 125w.

Lighting, Light Fixtures, Ceiling and Exhaust Fans - Replacing bathroom ceiling heater with light - I removed a Broan ceiling heat lamp/fan and am preparing to install a simple light fixture. A cold bathroom can make getting ready in the morning a real drag and a quick shower feel like an Arctic expedition. It's a problem that's especially noticeable during the colder months.
Choosing the right bathroom heat lamp can feel complicated. There are so many different kinds! You have to think about things like size, power, and safety.
