When shopping for modern bathroom lighting there are two factors that you need to take into consideration.
The first is the design. Choosing the right fittings to suit the style, shape, size and character of your bathroom is important. This is also the most fun part of shopping for modern bathroom lighting!
But safety is paramount too.
Because your bathroom is wet, steamy, warm and often difficult to aerate, it is essential that you have the appropriate lights fitted with the correct safety ratings by a qualified electrician.
Luckily, modern bathroom lighting from Scotlight Direct is all clearly marked with an IP rating, making it clear and simple for consumers.
The IP rating is the way we measure the suitability of lights for different areas of your bathroom. All lights in or above a shower, for example, must have an IP rating of 65 or above, while IP ratings of 68 can be fully immersed in water, like in a Jacuzzi for example.
Once you are clear about the safety aspect of installing your lights, the fun part can begin – choosing your awesome fittings!
Modern bathroom lighting should be layered – in other words it should use different styles of lighting in different areas to accentuate features and light the room appropriately.
Stylish mirror lights, for example, can be used near your mirrors, while cool ambient lighting can be placed into alcoves or under cabinets, and more functional task lighting, i.e. your ‘big light’ can be used to allow you to perform the essential bathroom tasks like showering and shaving with good illumination.
