Smart, stylish bathroom lighting 

Take the role of your bathroom light fixtures to the next level by adding options that combine a classic or modern design with smart functions (i.e. dimming) and crisp yet soft illumination from energy efficient LED light bulbs. Choose options in mirror lights, vanity lights, bathroom ceiling lights or wall lights that do more than just clearly show you the way when flossing or applying makeup. After putting your personal stamp on any of your bathrooms, you’ll be giddy to say “Down the hall, second door on the left” at any dinner party you host.   Get ready to enjoy glare free reflections and the stylish radiance of clever bathroom light fixtures that will impress any guest.

Select the right type of bathroom light fixture for your needs and style      

Be the fairest of them all with a mirror with lights on the wall

Enjoy sharp, glare-free illumination with bathroom mirrors with lights whose design efficiency features a light source built into the trim of white circular or rectangular mirrors with curved edges. Also choose from mirror cabinets that blend white particleboard with sleek glass, metal and crisp lighting.

There’s nothing immodest about stylish bathroom vanity lights

Choose LED bathroom vanity lights that sit flush atop bathroom cabinets or freely “float” overtop as they extend out slickly covered in chrome or encased in white, powder coated aluminum and plastic. They provide warming, even lighting around your mirror and sink.

Let light and your style shine down with bathroom ceiling lights

Select modern bathroom ceiling light fixtures that feature glowing orbs oflight attached directly to or extending downwards from the ceiling cup or shade holder. Go with the timeless look of glass shades paired with anodized aluminum etched with concentric circles (in black, gray or gold) or holders in black that are made with dense polycarbonate plastic. Some options offer the same ambient lighting whether attached to the wall or ceiling. Some of our bathroom ceiling lamps can be turned on/off and dimmed wirelessly with remotes or with a smart phone app.

Find the perfect balance in bathroom lighting with flexible wall lights

Ready to be placed above, alongside or below your bathroom mirror is a range of stylish options in bathroom wall lights. Placing a glowing tube of warm white light with a black casing on either side of your bathroom mirror is one option. Or go with a string of orbs in a nickel-plated casing that playfully bejewel your wall. With a light touch of the finger, you can dim or intensify the light source. Other options combine dangling opaque, white glass shades with the classic, industrial look of steel holders and arms that softly drift downwards.

How to light a small bathroom versus a master bathroom

The first consideration for any size bathroom is having adequate task light. Direct light from vanity or wall lights is best for grooming or applying makeup, as opposed to overhead light that can cast shadows. From there, bath bars and ceiling lights are great for larger bathrooms. While LED lights cast a diffused light that’s great for illuminating bigger spaces, choose dimmer options for those relaxing bubble baths.

BATHE IN THE LIMELIGHT: LED LIGHTING IN YOUR BATHROOM

ADVICE & IDEAS

First thing in the morning, you want to be ready for the day ahead. Likewise, after a stressful working day, you want to relax in an atmospheric bathroom and switch off. But sometimes you also need bright light to get ready to go out. That requires a clever lighting plan that always adapts to your needs. A windowless bathroom requires particularly good planning. With smart LED lighting, you can illuminate your bathroom flexibly to ensure ideal lighting conditions. And lighting can even influence your mood with changing colours. Light on, switch off from the day – and what’s more you’ll be saving on your energy bills while soaking in the tub thanks to money-saving LED technology.

BATHROOM LIGHTING WHAT DOES WHAT?

CHECK LIST

When planning your bathroom, be mindful of the different requirements for bathroom lighting:

LED SPOT LIGHTING

FOR YOUR OPTIMAL LIGHTING PLAN IN THE BATHROOM

Ideal basic lighting offers individually adjustable spots for the bathroom. If you need bright light to wake up on a dark winter morning, turn on all the spots at once. During an atmospheric spa bath with subdued lighting, you only need to use one or two spots as indirect light. This allows the shower, sink and toilet to be lit separately. Ideally, choose dimmable spots to customise the light: 8,000 lumens for morning light, 4,000 lumens for relaxing twilight. Rotating and swivelling recessed LED spotlights in the ceiling are perfect for decorative illumination of a feature, like a wall recess or a picture. In a windowless bathroom, LED daylight panels integrated in the ceiling compensate for missing daylight.

CLEAR AND CONCISE

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

1. Which colour temperature is the best for bathroom lighting?

Your bathroom lighting must provide both bright light for styling and grooming and warm spa lighting. 3,500-4,000 Kelvin (neutral white) is ideal for bright light. Warm white to golden light between 2,700 and 3,300 Kelvin promotes relaxation.

2. Can you light a bathroom with no electricity supply?

Usually you will need to have some sort of electricity supply – unless you use candles. However, if there is no power connection, you can use mobile spots powered by a rechargeable battery for lighting.

3. Which IP rating is required for bathroom lighting?

Due to the high humidity in bathrooms and the risk of splashing water, lighting options for bathrooms used to be quite limited. Today, this is no longer a problem thanks to LED. When buying bathroom lighting, choose the right IP rating:

Which lamps to use in the bathroom

Technical requirements for lighting fixtures

A bathroom is a place in an apartment or house where the operating conditions of lamps are close to extreme. Frequent changes in air temperature, high humidity, splashes of water - not all interior lighting devices can withstand such a “microclimate”.

For this reason, the main parameter for choosing a luminaire for a bathroom is the degree of its protection from adverse environmental conditions. The degree of dust and moisture protection can be found by examining the information on the device case. nine0005

The required marking begins with the letters IP, followed by two numbers, the first of which indicates the level of protection against dust, the second - protection against moisture. The higher the numerical value of the index, the more reliable the lamp. The minimum level of moisture protection of the lighting device for rooms with high humidity is IP44, the maximum is IP67.

The choice of light source will also depend on the area of ​​the bathroom in which it will be located. There are three of them:

Please note: if the bathroom is not well ventilated and even on distant walls condensation forms periodically, it means that there are no relatively safe zones in the room, so the lamps for it are selected only for zone 1 and zone 2.

Types of lighting for the bathroom rooms

Artificial lighting that can be used in the bathroom is divided into three types: ceiling, wall and floor. In one room, several variants of light sources can be combined at once, thus achieving an ideal luminous flux both from a decorative and functional point of view. nine0005

Ceiling light

This type of lighting is the main one. It is selected based on the dimensions and design features of the room, taking into account the presence / absence of additional light sources.

Traditional chandeliers are not suitable for standard bathrooms, they look too bulky in them, and simply interfere with hygiene procedures. An excellent alternative to such devices can be overhead or recessed ceiling lamps, LED strips, spot or spot lighting systems. nine0005

Wall lighting

Wall light sources are designed for zoning space and creating the highest quality lighting in individual work areas. If the area of ​​​​the bathroom is small (less than 6 sq. M), there is no need for wall lighting - the main ceiling lamp will also cope with its functions. In more spacious rooms, you can use sconces, overhead appliances or spots.

Usually wall lamps are placed near the mirror. In this case, sconces should be used in pairs - on both sides of the reflective surface. Overhead devices are universal, they can be located horizontally above and below the mirror, or vertically - on the sides of it. nine0005

Spot systems can also be placed at the top, bottom or side, there is only one recommendation - the ceiling lamps of such devices should not be reflected in the mirror and other glossy surfaces - with such an arrangement, light sources will "dazzle" the eyes.

The mirror should not be illuminated with devices with bright colored shades - from such light sources your reflection will be distorted: the complexion and hair will become unnatural. The best option - devices made of frosted or transparent glass. nine0005

Floor lighting

This lighting fixture has a decorative function: it allows you to create a special cozy and romantic atmosphere in the bathroom. To organize such lighting, LED strips, recessed spotlights, luminous tiles, etc. are used.

LED strips are usually “laid” along the contours of the bathtub, washbasin and other furniture. An alternative to them can be LEDs placed randomly on the cable and laid in the tile joints of the floor. This backlight resembles a starry sky and looks very unusual. nine0005

Spotlights are placed along the perimeter of the room or along plumbing fixtures and furniture. The disadvantage of this type of lighting is the complexity of installation and subsequent replacement of light bulbs in appliances.

Luminescent floor materials glow on their own and are generally independent of the power supply. They have only one minus - the high cost. In addition, turning off such a lamp in the dark does not work.

Light characteristics

Types of lamps

Traditional incandescent lamps as well as fluorescent and LED light sources are suitable for bathrooms. Halogen bulbs are not safe to use in rooms with high humidity - if water gets on them, the glass can simply “explode” and injure the user.

Incandescent lamps tend to heat up during use and have a relatively short lifespan. Fluorescent light sources contain "mercury vapor", so their use in everyday life is, in principle, potentially dangerous. nine0005

The best option for a bathroom is LEDs: they give a good quality of light, do not heat up and last as long as possible.

Luminous flux power

According to the established standards, for normal bathroom lighting, at least 200 Lux (lux (lx) - a unit of illumination) per 1 sq. meter of the room. Light output of lamps is measured in lumens (lm). 1 lux equals 1 lumen per square meter. meter.

For a standard 6 sq. m requires lighting with a power of 1200 lx. This power of the luminous flux is created by 1 incandescent lamp with a power of 100 W or an LED lamp with a power of 11 W. nine0005

Color rendering and temperature of light

The color rendering of a light source is the quality of reproduction of the natural colors of objects by artificial light. Sunlight has the maximum color rendering - with it, the entire surrounding space looks the way it really is.

Incandescent lamps give light that is very close to natural, they practically do not distort the perception of objects. For LEDs, the indicator is slightly worse, but it is also within the acceptable norm. nine0005

The temperature of the light also affects the display of the surrounding reality. Light can be warm, neutral or cool. For the bathroom, it is better to select sources in the “warm” or neutral range; it will be uncomfortable to be in a cold room.

The choice of lighting sources for the bathroom should be given enough time and attention, because the right lamps and appropriate light accents can make the room not only convenient for performing ordinary hygiene procedures, but also cozy, harmonious and positively affecting the mood and well-being of all its users. nine0005

Go to bathroom fixtures

ceiling, wall, ribbons and lamps, lighting

The desire for beauty and comfort makes you look at the decoration of the bathroom differently. Negative feelings can be associated with the tightness of these rooms in most projects. Ugly pipes, old-fashioned paint - it's time to get rid of them just like the hateful whitewash and plaster on the ceiling. But not only new tiles will make the bath more comfortable and more pleasant to the heart of every owner. It is very important to approach the issue of lighting rationally and thoroughly. nine0005

Competent light will make the room spacious and bright, make the interior play in a new way, give a feeling of cleanliness and inspiration. Among the many options, designers offer to focus on spotlights with diode or LED lamps, which will help solve the most non-standard tasks.

The design of such a lamp (in other words, a spotlight) differs from the usual understanding of the lamp. Electrical wires are connected to a semiconducting crystal that converts electricity into light. This radiation is amplified by a plastic box on top of the structure, which is also a lens that scatters or directs the rays. There is no vacuum or air between the plastic and the crystal, silicone is in this airtight space. Under the crystal and wiring there is a special metal base made of copper or aluminum to reduce heat generation. This design saves from overheating and fire. The diode wires are hidden in insulating tubes, making them even safer. nine0005

Pros

Choosing diodes is a lot of fun for techies, but it can also be exciting for ordinary people.

In any case, this is a very useful acquisition, there are many explanations for this, for example:

Cons

Of course, the high manufacturability and safety of diodes are their strengths, from which the main disadvantages follow:

A brand that values ​​its reputation takes a thorough approach to the production of its products, especially if the price for them is higher than that of analogues. It is worth buying from companies with a long history that specialize in lamps and diodes in particular. This is the only way to be sure of the quality of the lamps.

Recommendations

Almost constant humidity in a small space is a major challenge in most bathrooms. And since dampness and electricity are a dangerous combination, electrical appliances and lamps in particular have their own requirements that will make their use as safe as possible. Spots, by virtue of their design, fit perfectly. But for them, lighting in the bathroom is a serious task. nine0005

When choosing lamps and fixtures for bathrooms, pay attention to:

To make it easier to understand the features of the purpose of diode lamps, a special marking system has been developed. The letters IP (International Protection) mark diodes designed for wet rooms; in general, the designation looks like IP XY. X - resistance to dust, Y - protection from water. The higher the number, the stronger the impact of the hazard can be, zero means complete defenselessness. X ranges from 0 to 6, Y ranges from 0 to 8.

For example, the IP21 marked LED lamp can be used in a damp room, withstands vertical ingress of rare drops of water. The farther from the shower stall or sink is such a device, the better. The following markings are often used: IP23 (well withstands humidity and rare splashes), IP44 indicates resistance to frequent splashes, IP45 highlights lamps that can withstand water jets in any direction, IP67 diodes are used to illuminate water and can be installed in the most damp places (the bath itself , sink, showerhead). The IPx8 badge marks LEDs that are in demand for illuminating deep industrial or artificial objects (deeper than 1m), so there is no point in looking for them for home use. nine0005

Types

LED lamps are divided into several groups according to their purpose, type of lighting and location on the surface. Sellers sometimes sin by offering more expensive models to a simple man in the street, taking advantage of his incomplete awareness. However, for use in an apartment or a private house, the requirements for devices are usually lower, and the price is lower.

Meeting by appointment:

Street lighting means illumination of buildings, pavement and road at night. They have average power, high-quality equipment and high resistance to thermal and mechanical stress, including water. Industrial lamps are characterized by high performance, brightness. They are installed in large warehouses, offices where good lighting is required everywhere. They withstand physical impact, dust, but are little protected from water. Household diodes are offered to ordinary consumers for a wide variety of home design needs. They can illuminate and decorate any corner, but they are less powerful, in some places even gentle, compared to industrial ones. nine0005

The type of lighting varies by Kelvin, this is an aesthetic pleasing to the eye. Warm light (2-3.5 kK) is considered the most convenient and useful, sometimes neutral lighting (3.5-5 kK) is used, which is often used in medical institutions and laboratories. Cold tones (5-7 kK) illuminate street and industrial facilities. For perception, they are not very good, cause rapid visual fatigue.

Diodes can be located outside the luminaire or hidden under the cover. nine0120 It depends on the purpose of use, lamp power, location. Also, diode lighting is found in the form of embedded (mortise) structures or overhead. The first option involves preparing the surface and using some kind of screen behind which electrical wires will be hidden (ceiling lighting, multi-level ceilings). The second option is found in the idea of ​​compact lighting systems, where the wires are hidden in a neat case (chandeliers, sconces). In this case, no additional surface preparation is required, the lamp can be installed directly into the luminaire, and if necessary, it is attached to any (including concrete) surface. nine0005

For household needs, shops offer options for using diodes in the form of LED lamps that look like incandescent lamps. This allows them to be used in existing conditions, adapting to any room design. There are also LED strips, they are used to decorate individual zones, art objects, and peculiar highlights of the house. For example, you can highlight a flower garden or an aquarium, a niche or a shelf with dishes with a ribbon. They do not create full-fledged lighting, but they quite claim to be an intimate or romantic lighting scenario. Nevertheless, manufacturers also offer very powerful LED strips, using which correctly, you can create high-quality basic lighting. nine0005

Designers sometimes use LED arrays to illuminate ordinary spaces. This is a very effective option for large rooms decorated in a modern or high-tech style. However, for a compact bathroom, this type of LED lighting is hardly suitable due to lack of space.

Selection Tips

Understanding the purpose of a room and its lighting will go a long way in choosing lamps. Decide for yourself such moments:

  • How much do you plan to change your bathroom? How much are you willing to allocate for this?
  • What role do you play in bathroom lighting? Do you need to additionally highlight or illuminate some areas (mirror, shelf)?
  • Do the selected fixtures match the overall style of the bathroom?

Lamps with warm light create a cozy feeling. For the same reason, it is better to choose lamps with transparent or milky white shades. Vibrant colors can give a tone that will later seem out of place and even unpleasant as a main light. But decorative diode lamps and ribbons can be of any color that you like. nine0005

Due to the small size of the room, large ceiling chandeliers in the bathroom look ridiculous, but small lamps with neat shades, on the contrary, will easily fit into any design. There is another danger of large diode lamps: often the quality leaves much to be desired, because they are made in China by little-known companies. For a bathroom, such a purchase can be not only doubtful, but also dangerous, because the tightness of such products does not always meet the standards. But simple socket lamps from leading manufacturers not only fit well into any interior, but also turn out to be very practical and reliable. nine0005

They differ in the color of the metal used in the case. Pay attention to the fact that the color of such a metal is combined with the general style and matches the color type (warm / cold). Typically, the bodies and metal rims of such lamps are made in neutral shades: glossy or matte, copper and gold, more often chrome. And it is very practical, because they go well with any interior.

If you decide to change the lighting, but are not ready to seriously deal with the ceiling and spend a large amount, then you should consider buying a simple overhead lamp with diode lamps. Do you want to radically change the room and are ready to invest? Think about lighting design in the form of 2-3 light scenarios. nine0005

Many designers recommend making a false ceiling with built-in LED lamps. This is a very good move: equip the room with a reliable and beautiful ceiling that will last a long time and neatly hide the LED lighting system. Installation of mortise lamps is best done simultaneously with the installation of the ceiling.

Surface-mounted luminaires are somewhat easier to install. They can be mounted on any surface, including concrete, and they do not need such serious surface preparation. For a small number of lamps (up to 3), this solution may be more advantageous. nine0005

When everything is clear with the type and purpose of light in the bathroom, calculate the required number of lamps. A useful tip is on the package of LED lamps. In addition to information about power and protection, they indicate how many square meters a particular type of LED can illuminate. Divide the footage of the room by this figure and find out how many lamps of this type are recommended for comfortable lighting in your bathroom. The value recommended by the standards per square meter is 25 watts. If the number is uneven, then round up. Spots use little energy, so a larger amount will not significantly affect the meter readings. nine0005

Buying diodes is a long-term purchase, so give preference to market leaders (Philips, Osram, Ecola, Cree, etc.) They give long-term guarantees for their products (up to 5 years), during this period the investment will fully pay off.

Application in design

Interior specialists and craftsmen love to work with LED strips when decorating rooms. Separate LED lamps and light panels made up of them can also add zest to the style of the room. With an unlimited budget and a spacious room, you can get a unique interior. The majority of fellow citizens are still limited in funds and in the size of the room, especially when it comes to the bathroom. nine0005

The right lighting option will help make the room visually larger, brighter, and if you use diodes for zone lighting or highlighting some places, mirrors, then the light will have additional useful functionality, and the bath will become surprisingly beautiful and elegant.

Mirror lighting, for example, is always a good choice: both men and women will like this solution. Comfortable light will make any angle successful, making it convenient to apply makeup or shave. You can make such lighting additional, turn it on separately from the ceiling lighting. nine0005

Bath - comfort zone, in addition, the mood can be made by decorating the zone on the borders of the bath and the wall or the podium for the jacuzzi (shower cubicle). To do this, use built-in structures or diode tapes. For discerning owners with an extraordinary taste, water lighting is offered. Such options are best discussed with the designer, because they require a more thorough approach to installation.

Installation

There are "specialists" who think that when working with LEDs, the most difficult thing is installation. Such a statement is not always true, as a rule, this opinion is artificially supported by those who are very little aware of the device and the capabilities of LEDs. Or, on the contrary, it increases the cost of its service. The complexity of installation directly depends on the type of spots and its application. nine0005

Mounting the diode strip

Beautiful and effective lighting is not so difficult to install. Measure the desired length, up to 15 meters 1 transformer and 1 controller will suffice, with a larger one an additional current converter will be required. After cutting, you need to connect the sections with a soldering iron, strictly observing the polarity (+ and -).

When working with a tape of several colors, then a controller is attached to the circuit, and only then - a diode tape. The scheme of such illumination must be planned in advance because of the strict polarity, and also because the tape cannot be bent so as not to violate the integrity of the circuit. nine0005

Silicone coating completely protects against moisture, but cannot protect against mechanical damage. The tape can be applied using its adhesive backing. In order for the diodes to hold better, it is first necessary to clean the surface, removing possible dirt and grease, and the metal surface is additionally isolated. You can use it through a simple switch, or you can connect it to a special regulator - a rheostat and even a remote control. Thus, you can not only turn on the backlight, but set the desired brightness of the lighting. nine0005

Installation of overhead lights

This work can be done on almost any surface. Self-tapping screws or special "molly" fasteners are used, resembling dowel-nails. The choice of fastening depends only on the material to which the lamp is attached. Self-tapping screws are screwed in immediately, and for the "molly" a hole is first prepared, where fasteners are then inserted. This option is quite durable, but does not involve working with suspended structures.

False ceiling with recessed lighting only possible with pre-preparation (embeddings larger than the fixing hole). It must be remembered that the overhead lamp has its own height, and hinged structures “steal” a few centimeters, which can be significant for a bathroom. Therefore, this combination of lamp and ceiling is rarely used. nine0005

Installation of built-in lighting

Such lamps differ in that the main part of the diode with wires will be hidden, the upper lens-plafond will protrude slightly above the rest of the surface. The initial stage of work is carried out before the installation of the suspended structure (placement of wires, bases). According to the same scheme, holes are made in the canvas, through which the lamps are connected to the cable. Spots for built-in lighting on the body are equipped with paws that are pressed against the body of the diode until it sits in the socket. The released paws firmly hold the lamp in the ring on the mortgage. nine0005

If some of the operations are problematic to perform on your own, then it is easier and safer to seek professional services, and not be presumptuous. Experts pay attention to the polarity and tightness of the connections, protection from moisture, additionally hiding in plastic tubes.
