Tips

culture

浴霸 (literally 'bath tyrant/master') is a ceiling-mounted Chinese bathroom fixture that combines a heater, light, and exhaust fan in one unit. Originally an infrared-bulb design (灯暖), now mostly fan-heater style (风暖). Almost every Chinese apartment has one; Western bathrooms typically don't.
