The size of the bathroom is one of the key points when choosing the right lighting for it. If our bathroom is small (approximately 3 square meters), we can illuminate it with a single point of light on the ceiling. If, on the other hand, the bathroom is a little larger, we may need more light points to create a homogeneous light.
What do we have to look at to illuminate our bathroom?
The size of the bathroom is one of the key points when choosing the right lighting for it. If our bathroom is small (approximately 3 square meters), we can illuminate it with a single point of light in the ceiling. If, on the other hand, the bathroom is a little larger, we may need more light points to create a homogeneous light.
On the other hand, we must have in mind which zones we want to illuminate, as a general rule these zones are three:
Shower: sometimes we want to install light points over the shower. First of all we must have a series of rules in mind to avoid any problem and make a correct installation. It is highly recommended to install luminaires with an IP65 protection level to avoid future problems with humidity and dust. In addition, luminaires should be installed at a minimum height of 2 meters and 30 centimeters (2.3m).
Washbasin: the washbasin is usually a fundamental part of our personal hygiene, either to shave, make up ... This area allows to combine elements to achieve a uniform lighting without shadows or reflections, we can install sconces on the sides and above the mirror. To avoid altering the skin tone is recommended to install a cool white light, as close to natural white light, from about 5000ºK.
Ceiling: if we have a large bathroom we can take advantage of it by installing LED downlights and get a more homogeneous and soft general lighting throughout the bathroom.
