Bathroom Ceiling Lights
Bathroom Ceiling Lighting
A bathroom ceiling light is possibly one of the most important in the home, yet we often over-look its importance. It is one of the smallest rooms in the house but it should also be one of the brightest.
A domed flush mounted fitting will give good overall illumination, whilst a bathroom spotlight bar can target the areas where you need it.
Suitably IP rated recessed downlights are popular and well suited to a modern bathroom. Care should be taken to ensure that they are positioned properly to illuminate the areas you need such as above a shower or directly in front of a mirror or cabinet. They are now available with built in tilt adjustment so you can point them wherever needed.
Years ago, a bathroom would consist of an iron or steel bath, a porcelain sink and a toilet, and the walls would be painted in an eggshell finish to try and protect the walls from steam. There would probably be a batten lamp holder on the ceiling or wall with a 100 watt bulb poking out.
Thankfully, those days are long gone and our bathrooms are now a relaxing and functional place to be. Your choice of bathroom fittings will play an important part in your overall scheme and should be chosen with care.
All of our bathroom ceiling lights are rated at least IP44 or higher, so they are suitable for use in bathroom zones 1 and 2. Full information about bathroom regulations can be found by following the link to our Bathroom Light Zones guide.
