When steam or humidity hits a scorching hot lamp, you get condensation. That tiny bit of water creates a path for electricity to wander where it shouldn&rsquo;t, and that&rsquo;s how you end up with a short circuit or a nasty ground fault.</p> <h2 id="how-to-actually-keep-the-water-out">How to actually keep the water out</h2> <p>The real danger zone is where the power lead meets the quartz tube. It&rsquo;s the weakest link in the chain. To stop moisture from sneaking into the guts of the machine, we don&rsquo;t just hope for the best—we use high-temp silicone potting or heat-shrink seals (look for IP65 or higher). It basically shrink-wraps the connection so water can&rsquo;t get in. And please, make sure the housing is grounded. We stick with a double-insulated design and a dedicated <a href="https://o-yate.net">earth</a> wire. That way, if something does go wrong, the breaker trips instantly instead of the whole metal frame becoming live.</p>
