Product Information

For general lighting in the bathroom or shower room we highly recommend our 8 Watt Samsung LED Ceiling Lights , they are IP65 making them suitable for use in any zone in the bathroom including above the shower. Our waterproof LED strip lights for bathrooms come with remote control and sensor options. Installing bathroom LED light strips is easy and controlling them remotely can provide independence to individuals with reduced mobility. There could be nothing easier than being able to switch off or change the colour of your lights at the touch of a button. For reference, 1fc = 10.76 lumens/sq. ft. and the brightness of a 10w LED are 900 lumens. The reason is with advancing age, the eye’s pupil size reduces and the pupil lets in less light. For the best illumination, you can place LED strip lights below bathroom counters and cabinets. You can do that inside drawers, as well. An added advantage is these lights can help you in navigating your bathroom safely at night without switching on harsher lights. What Is the Best Bathroom Lighting for Applying Makeup?

In the bathroom, strip lights are a great option for lighting large expanses of mirror too: simply recess the mirror into the wall and light it using strips behind the outer edge, allowing the glow to wash in from all sides. Indeed, all-round lighting is the ideal way to light a working mirror - think of the old Hollywood star dressing rooms! If this is not feasible, opt either for lights at both top and bottom or on each side - a wall light which throws its light upwards and downwards with a 3000 Kelvin colour rendering is ideal. When instead the niche is very large, the illumination from above with a single spotlight is no longer sufficient, on the contrary, it would penalize both the niche and the objects placed in it. In the case of very large niches there are two solutions, both valid, but that should be studied according to the objects that we want to place in it.However, if your bathroom or shower enclosure is large, it is easy to install lights away from high-risk places. Also, you have more choices in the light fixtures you can install. You can use ceiling lights that don’t have an IP rating as long as they’re not located directly over a bathtub or shower.

Especially for very high niches, we must also verify that the beam is long enough and can reach the object on which we intend to focus our attention. The risk of spotlights with light beam is too short that it is lit only the upper part of the niche and that the underlying object is not sufficiently enhanced.

Recessed lights are best for use in showers, but you need to be careful to buy ones that are designed for use in wet and damp environments. The fact that they are recessed means they are flush to the ceiling, which ensures that damp does not build up and attract mould. What's more, they are easy to wipe over and keep clean. The best lights for task lighting provide focused light – directed right where you need it. Examples of task lights include a bath bar light or a pair of vertical sconces positioned on either side of the mirror. You can use a single colour, or if you want to be really creative we have colour changing LEDs. Used with our high quality colour controllers you can choose any colour from the spectrum including whites, warm whites, vivid colours, and even pastel colours. Avoid fluorescent lighting, yellow lighting, and top lighting as they are not the right choice for full-face illumination. Also, remember that multiple weaker light sources are better than one strong light source. Heat emission is also a huge safety factor in bathroom lighting. Halogen lights reach high temperatures, and inside a bathroom, they are dangerous. They can cause burns if touched accidentally. But since LEDs emit less heat, they are relatively cool to the touch.The guidelines for the installation of bathroom lighting in the UK are stringent. You need to ensure that the installation conforms to the stipulated safety standards. The options here are available in a variety of finishes and shapes, which may be appropriate for your space. If you are struggling to know which will work best, call us for help on finding the right solution. Ambient lighting involves several fixtures, depending on the bathroom size. You can customise these lights by equipping them with dimmers. An important point to note is all bulbs are not compatible with dimmers. So you need to choose the right bulbs. Otherwise, the lifespan of the bulb will be shortened considerably. Task Lighting By switching on the mood lights alone it creates a low-level light in the bathroom, meaning you won't be blinded early in the morning when needing to use the facilities.
