Don't ever use a calor gas appliance in a bathroom it could be deadly.

For the heating bulb look for "heat lamps", some he

You need the type made of hard glass soft glass will shatter if it gets
splashed whilst it's hot. £6.88 for a pack of 10 (+vat)

Check also that the socket will withstand the temperature.


Thanks, hadn't thought about the socket.


it wont, for heat lamps you need an all metal fitting, and a ceramic
bulb socket with ventilation, and heatproof wiring, not pvc.

500w should be passable for a bathroom, but not generous. 1kW would be
nice and warm. But theyre not cheap to run, at about 3x the cost per
therm of gas.

Is it not livable with just by leaving the door open when not in use?
I wonder if a pedestal fan by the door would help, would sure cost
much less to run.
