Usually, it’s the lead-wire junction. <a href="https://o-yate.net">Think</a> about it. You’ve got an infrared heater working in a damp or humid spot. Moisture loves to creep into the seals. Then, you add the intense heat from the quartz tube into the mix, and you&rsquo;ve got a recipe for rapid oxidation. Before you know it, the insulation breaks down and you&rsquo;ve got a short circuit. Not ideal.</p>
