6 Benefits of a 3-in-1 Bathroom Unit
1. It can warm you up fast!
Most 3-in-1 bathroom units come with built-in infrared lamps, also aptly known as heat lamps, that are specifically designed to warm your bathroom fast. Switch on at the point and receive instant warmth.
2. Most models now use energy efficient LED lighting
There was a time when your 3-in-1 bathroom unit would have been quite costly to run. With the introduction of LED technology into these units, however, you get a number of benefits, including:
- Low energy consumption: LED lights, compared to other types of bulbs, consume much less electricity. In fact, LED lighting is found to use up to 70% less energy compared to the traditional incandescent bulbs.
- Durable: LED lights last for a much longer time compared to other types of bulbs. An average LED lamp can last for up to 50,000 hours, some even longer. Compare this with incandescent lights, which last for just 1,000 hours, and fluorescent lights which last 15,000 hours.
- Release little heat: LED lights produce little heat compared to other bulbs, making them much safer from overheating incidents. It also makes it less likely to burn out.
