Outdoor Lights Indoors

Steve if you look at their products they have units for indoor and they using the same quarts heat. I cannot see why they would be an issue indoors. It's weatherproof so it should be fine indoors. You can certainly call the company and see what they say.
 
My only input is that I have seen a lot of 300/500w quartz light fixtures that were tagged "outdoor only"
 
This is a quote from that web site

Ideal for factories, workshops, warehouses, farm buildings, shipping areas as well as outdoor areas such as gazebos, awnings and open air terraces in restaurants, clubs and pubs

That's kind of what I was thinking - they may be outdoor only. BTW, these seem to be in the 1200 to 1500 watt range.

Dennis: I missed the part about "factories, workshops, warehouses, .....". That does sound like they can be used indoors.

I should of mentioned, this is for a bathroom (a huge bathroom with a 13' ceiling and ceramic tile everywhere), so I was looking for one that was weatherproof and suitable for indoor use. You're probably right, a call is probably in order.

Thanks:
Steve

Remember these are heaters not lights/lamps. Even know they have a lamp, I would guess the ul listing says that they are heaters. My point being if used indoors what is going to control the heat. I have seen similiar devices outside over hotel entrances that keep the doormen warm.

I would think just a timer or a switch since these units do not heat the air.

I can agree with that to a very limited extent but given what you've said, and I don't know what authority may have or have not also said that, every light source that exists is a heater.

Is the next new code section going to be thermostats on lamps? I mean aside from thermal shut offs.

Has anybody ever used or installed halogen?

I have never heard of a light source rated for exterior use that at the same time is prohibited from being used indoors. Not to say that maybe I'm just not aware of this sort of thing, just haven't heard of it.
