LED bathroom lighting

Bathroom lighting - which bathroom lamps are the best solution?

Success in the field of bathroom arrangement depends to a large extent on the lighting used. Discreet and elegant LED bathroom lamps, combined with intensive, yet minimally invasive light, are the ideal in the category of lamps for bathroom lighting. The presence of additional bathroom wall lamps above the mirror and on the walls in the arrangement emphasizes areas of the room that require special care in terms of light intensity. Combining the above factors, while maintaining the character of the interior and matching it to other elements of the arrangement, is a difficult task, the implementation of which is ensured by choosing the best quality bathroom lamps from renowned manufacturers intended exclusively for places with increased humidity. We recommend paying special attention to lamps from Astro Lighting, which specializes mainly in bathroom lighting. This company's offer includes recessed luminaires, lamps above the mirror, wall sconces for mounting on the mirror and IP44 ceiling lamps. Another renowned manufacturer of hermetic lamps is the Polish company AQForm, specializing in LED lamps, which offers wall lamps above the mirror, waterproof surface-mounted and recessed luminaires, as well as ceiling and hanging lamps with a high IP54 for bathrooms. High quality, a wide range of both style, color and materials, allows you to create many interesting combinations. All bathroom lamps are characterized by an increased protection class in the IP44-IP65 range, thus ensuring safety of use and high quality. LED bathroom lighting is an excellent choice for modernly furnished bathrooms.

LED lighting

LED technology is currently the standard when choosing bathroom lighting and is used both in home bathrooms and public cloakrooms or toilets. LED technology itself is used in all types of lamps, whether in hanging lamps, wall lamps or LED strips.

In your bathroom, make sure that the appropriate lighting provides you with enough light in the bathroom zones that are particularly important to you. With the help of a light source, we can create a unique effect. Using, for example, LED strips in special profiles will brighten and highlight places such as a mirror or shelves. Additionally, LED lighting is an energy-saving way to illuminate the bathroom and give it an unconventional look.

Shower lamps - only waterproof lighting IP65!

The shower is considered zone no. 1, i.e. the place in the bathroom considered the wettest. Such a zone requires lighting with a high level of IP protection. It is recommended to use at least IP55 luminaires, preferably IP65 (indicates full dust-proof protection (first digit), as well as protection against a water jet with an intensity of 12.5 l/min poured from each side (second digit). Similar requirements are imposed on the zone directly next to the bathtub. The IP65 bathroom luminaire can be both recessed and surface-mounted, in both versions the light source is protected by glass and seals against the ingress of water and water vapor. Slightly lower requirements are imposed above washbasins and near zone 1 and its immediate vicinity, where lighting with a protection level of IP44 is sufficient (protection against water splashes from any direction). Other zones do not require lamps with a high IP, but it is a safe solution, so it is worth using such lamps in bathrooms, especially in bathrooms and other humid rooms with poor ventilation.

Bathroom ceiling lighting

Bathroom ceiling lighting is not only hanging lamps, but also LED strips in profiles or ceiling lamps. All of them should match each other and depending on the style of our interior, we should choose lamps so that they create a coherent whole with them. As we know, lamps in a glamour, modern or retro style will look different. Each of them can be with LED or traditional bulbs. A great alternative in low rooms are ceiling lamps. They take up little space and provide enough light. A well-placed ceiling lamp will delight for many years.

It is also worth mentioning that bathrooms are often bathing salons. A bathroom with a spacious interior gives the possibility of arranging a suspended ceiling, and in it lighting using strips with LED strips. It beautifully defines zones in the room, and LED strips emphasize its charm, creating an unconventional form of lighting.

We can choose the color of light depending on the need. The following tapes are available:

• with warm white color - most resembles a traditional light bulb, often used in classic interiors. Warm light has a yellow hue, which is most pleasant to the eye and promotes relaxation.
• with neutral white color - they are found in commercial facilities, offices, but we can find them more and more often in apartments. Light in this color has the whitest hue resembling daylight. This color promotes efficiency at work and strengthens concentration.
• with cold white color - the color of cold light falls into shades of blue. Cold light is the least pleasant to the eye, which is why it is not recommended for use as the main light source, but rather as decorative light in modern interiors.
• variable color LED tapes - allow for the emission of light with a variable color. The color change is regulated using a special LED controller. The color of the light can be changed in a very easy and smooth way.

Bathroom lamp above the mirror

Main lighting is not always sufficient in the interior and sometimes it does not provide us with the right amount of light. Auxiliary lighting will then come in handy, such as a lamp above the mirror. It can be in the form of a wall lamp or LED strips placed in profiles.

Mirror lighting in the bathroom is of great importance. We perform most care treatments in front of it. A well-lit mirror will make these activities easier for us, and at the same time, it can create a beautiful decorative setting, emphasizing the interior. It is worth investing in additional lighting around the mirror and installing wall lamps or LED strips.

Bathtub and shower cabin lighting

In the case of bathtub lighting, you can choose decorative lamps that will introduce a relaxing and romantic atmosphere during bathing. You can use an LED strip or hanging lamps mounted near the bathtub or wall lamps for this purpose.

However, when it comes to shower cabin lighting - do not forget about the already mentioned IP degree of tightness. LED spots mounted in the ceiling will work great. It is important not to install lamps or wall lamps directly connected to the socket in the bathroom. When lighting the bathroom, a very important issue is the proper electrical installation. Without it, we cannot talk about safe installation.
