One minute it&rsquo;s freezing cold, and the next, the whole room is a thick cloud of steam. Most people think infrared lamps fail because the filament just gives up. But that&rsquo;s rarely the case. The real killer is the seal. If a tiny bit of moisture sneaks into the quartz envelope and hits that white-hot tungsten?**Pop.**Game over.</p> <h2 id="the-battle-against-the-steam">The <a href="https://o-yate.com">battle</a> against the steam</h2> <p>To stop this from happening, we put our lamps through damp-heat aging tests. Basically, we try to ruin them. We toss the lamps into chambers with crazy high humidity and swing the temperatures back and forth. It&rsquo;s like simulating years of steamy showers in just a few weeks. We&rsquo;re looking for those microscopic gaps in the R7s or SK15 connectors. If a seal is off by even a fraction of a millimeter, moisture will find its way in. And if it does, that lamp is going to blow the second you flip the switch in a real bathroom.</p>
