You&rsquo;ve got thick steam, random splashes of water, and temperatures that swing from freezing to sauna-hot in minutes. It&rsquo;s a <a href="https://o-yate.com">brutal</a> environment. Now, we build our <a href="https://o-yate.net">infrared</a> lamps to an IP44 standard. On paper, that means they&rsquo;re sealed against splashes and small bits of debris. But a spec sheet is just a piece of paper. It doesn&rsquo;t actually tell you if the heater will still be working three years from now. That’s why we put every single batch through damp-heat aging tests. Basically, we try to break them before they ever reach your ceiling.</p>
