A far infrared light bulb provides light that penetrates the skin of a person to stimulate the circulation and soothe muscle soreness. Installing a far infrared light in a bathroom offers a practical way to benefit from the bulb's abilities upon exiting a shower or while spending time using the facilities. To install a far infrared light bulb in a bathroom, replace the bulb in the overhead light fixture with the far infrared bulb. The procedure is straightforward since the far infrared bulb uses the same type of bulb socket as does an incandescent bulb.
Instructions
1. Press or flip the light switch in the bathroom to turn off the overhead light. Let the incandescent bulb or bulbs in the overhead light fixture cool for a half hour before proceeding.
2. Place a step ladder beneath the light fixture overhead. Unscrew the center cap from the dome covering the lighting fixture with your hands. If side screws are used around the dome instead of a center cap, loosen the side screws by turning them counter-clockwise. Pull the dome off the lighting fixture and place it away for safekeeping.
3. Unscrew the light bulb or bulbs from the lighting fixture. Place the light bulb or bulbs away for safekeeping.
4. Put on a kitchen glove so that damaging oils from your hand will not contaminate the far infrared bulb. Screw the bulb into the socket, or one of the sockets, of the lighting fixture.
5. Place the step ladder away. Press or flip the light switch to illuminate the bathroom using the far infrared light bulb.
