Functional Illumination: Brighten mirrors, showers, or entire bathrooms for tasks like grooming or relaxing in the bath.

Brief Guide to Bathroom Lighting

Choosing the right bathroom lighting ensures safety, functionality, and style. Consider these factors:

IP Rating: Select fixtures with an IP rating of at least IP44 for splash resistance, especially near showers or sinks. Higher ratings like IP65 suit wetter zones.

Maximise Small Spaces: Use illuminated mirrors or wall lights with reflective surfaces to make en-suites or cloakrooms feel larger, a popular trick in smaller spaces.

Lighting Needs: Opt for a bright central light for general bathroom lighting. Vanity and mirror lights may need 250–600 lumens per fixture for precise tasks like makeup application.

Bulb Compatibility: Choose LED for efficiency and durability, or halogen for warmer tones. Verify bulb types (e.g., GU10, E14) in product specifications.

Style and Finish: Match finishes like chrome, brass or matte black to your bathroom’s accessories. Glass or acrylic diffusers soften light for a relaxing atmosphere.

Installation: Ensure fixtures meet electrical safety standards for bathrooms. Professional installation is recommended, especially for hardwired lights.
