Heat lamp (4)	Nov 15, 2005
Why is there a heat lamp in hotel bathrooms? One website said it's to warm up the bathroom before taking a shower. Why? Doesn't the hot water from the shower eventually warm the room? Does anyone actually use these things? Maybe I'm low-tech, but I've never even considered warming up the bathroom before I took a shower. My parents definitely didn't have one of these things in their circa 1800s house. Wikipedia says a heat lamp is for "animal husbandry". Hmm. I don't follow. Oh I get it. Gross. #entertainment

	I use a heat lamp all the time! Sometimes my bathroom is just cold, and I keep it on. Say like when I am putting my makeup on. I never have it on when I am in the shower though.

	Actually always thought it was for accelerated drying. But now that I think of it, that was a stupid thought. I do always use it though.

	No, Mike, I'm with you. That's what I use it for. Makes for a fast, enjoyable drying experience. It feels almost like the sun on a really hot dry day, which I think is nice after a shower.
