In recent years, during the winter, a series of heating devices, serving the increasing temperature demand in rooms, indoors, have emerged and gained popularity. One of them can be mentioned as a device called a heating lamp, often installed inside bathrooms, toilets, especially in families with elderly or young children.
However, on a household appliance sharing forum, many users wonder that despite turning on the heating lamp, the device does not seem to bring about obvious effectiveness. To explain this, experts say that it is possible that families have overlooked a small but extremely important step when using the heating lamp. That is to turn on the device a few minutes before entering the bathroom.

Why should you turn on the heating lamp before entering the bathroom?
Experienced experts in the production and distribution of heating lamps give advice that it is best for users to turn on the heating lamp about 3 minutes before entering the bathroom. This action will help warm the entire space evenly, thereby optimizing activity effectiveness, providing warmth, and protecting human health, especially on very cold days.
The operating principle of the heating lamp is based on the principle of bulbs, which can be halogen bulbs or infrared bulbs. When turned on, current is supplied to the device, light from the bulbs will appear instantly, but the temperature of the bulbs at this time has not reached the optimal level, the warmth has not been spread throughout the space yet.

In addition to turning on the heating lamp before entering the bathroom, users should also choose devices based on the usage space. Dien May Xanh – one of the famous electronics supermarkets in Vietnam – commented that whether halogen heating lamps or infrared heating lamps, the devices will provide the best heat dissipation in spaces from 15-20m2 depending on the capacity of the device. Therefore, if the bathroom and toilet area is too large, users should balance the position of installation for the lamps to be most reasonable, serving the heating needs in winter in the best way.
Some methods of using heating lamps safely and effectively
Below are some other suggested methods to help the use of heating lamps in families in winter be effective and safe. Families who have equipped and used the heating lamps can refer to them.

As a heating device with a large heat output, experts advise users to absolutely avoid turning on the heating lamp for too long, even all day.

However, to ensure the highest possible safety for the device and users, experts still advise minimizing direct contact of the heating lamp with water, especially in the bulb and socket areas, wires.
To achieve this, users should choose a suitable position for installing the heating lamp, away from the water tap, showerhead. Many technicians suggest that the ideal position for installing the heating lamp is about 1.8-2m high, higher than the showerhead. This is the safest distance, helping the device to maximize power, while minimizing the risk of water splashing. Do not place other objects near the heating lamp, especially flammable objects such as clothes.
