Frequently Asked Questions
What are bathroom downlights?
Bathroom downlights are recessed ceiling lights designed to provide sleek, focused illumination, often IP-rated for water resistance and fire-rated for safety.
Do bathroom downlights need to be IP-rated?
Yes, downlights in shower zones (Zones 1 & 2) require a minimum IP65 rating, while IP44 is sufficient for other areas to protect against moisture.
Are fire-rated downlights necessary?
Fire-rated downlights (30, 60, or 90 minutes) are required for ceilings with living accommodation above to comply with Building Regulations. We always recommend using fire rated downlights in every installation.
Can I use LED bulbs with bathroom downlights?
All GU10 downlights support LED bulbs for energy efficiency and longevity. LED bulbs use less electricity, save energy and are safer than halogen as they run cooler and last much longer.
How many downlights do I need?
For a 12m² (12 x 10ft) bathroom, 6-8 downlights will provide adequate illumination, depending on ceiling height, required brightness and if other light sources are present.
