We had one of those floodlight/heat bulbs in the bathroom in the 1960s to replace a paraffin heater. It got splashed with water whilst switched on and cracked but did not break. It was gingerly consigned to the bin and the paraffin heater, which gave out far more heat, reinstated much to everyone's relief.
