Anyplace but above the tub/shower. The best places would be about the commode or vanity. Center of the bathroom is another good location. In the place of the existing fan is the easiest. Use a combination fan heat lamp.

Where should permanently installed ceiling heat lamp be installed in a bathroom?

This is old school technology and hasn't been done for years in construction. What used to happen, the bathroom being a small room didn't have much ceiling area. Centrally locating the heat lamp fixture to a good position sometimes positioned the fixture in the radius of the in-swinging bathroom door. On many occasions the door was left under the heat lamp with the lamp on and the door caught fire from the build up of heat from the lamp. The electrical code made a revision to keep the fixture out of the arc radius of the door and this made for some strange locations of the fixture. The installing of heat lamp fixtures has just gone out of favour. It has been replaced with in floor heating in bathrooms.

Can you use a heat lamp bulb in a regular socket in the bathroom?

You sure can, it's been done, and the bathroom didn't blow up, the bathroom was just extremely bright Some sockets, though, do have a maximum wattage and/or a maximum heat tolerance that needs to be followed to avoid the risk of fire in the wiring and ceiling. It won't blow up, but you might start a fire. Heat lamps should have a porcelain socket and heat resistant insulation.

Where in the ceiling would you install a heat lamp?

The heat lamp would be installed where it is needed. The only place the lamp is not permitted to be placed is over a doors swing radius. This is in the electrical code to prevent a door that is left opened and in a position directly under the lamp. The heat from the lamp has the ability to raise the temperature of the door to its combustion point and set it alight.

Are they ALL flickering or just certain ones? This happens most often with ceiling mounted lights due to the wires burning up from the lamp heat.
