Choosing Bathroom Lighting

Bathroom Lighting
Correct choice of Bathroom lighting adds the finishing touch to a great bathroom design. However, careful consideration is needed when choosing your bathroom lighting as UK building regulations state that all bathroom lighting must be suitable to protect against the ingress of water.

IP44 Rating
All light fittings are given an IP rating, and bathroom lighting is no exception. The IP rating relates to how much protection a light fitting has against the influx of water (in all forms including drops and condensation). The specific IP rating you will need to have for your light fitting will depend on where in the bathroom you are fixing your bathroom lighting, but as a general rule you will need at least an IP44 rating. For some areas in a bathroom you may require higher level of IP rating such as in –shower and in-bath lighting.

Bathroom Mirror Lights
As you would expect, bathroom mirror lights come in all shapes, sizes, designs and lamp types, and the home lighting online shop has a wide choice available online.

The range includes, illuminated mirrors – square and round, mirrors with etching and with shaver sockets. As with bathroom lighting, bathroom mirror lights also need to be IP44 rated or above.

Bathroom lighting attached to the ceiling – home lighting online shop offers a very wide choice from small flush fittings to recessed, with a choice of finishes and colours from chrome, white or brass.
