Bathroom lighting; what is hip and what should you pay attention to

The bathroom, for many this is one of the most important living spaces. This is the place where you look after yourself, where you come to yourself and relax, and where you look at yourself in the mirror for the first and last time that day. It is therefore not so strange that for many people it is important that there is also decent bathroom LED lighting. In this blog post, we will discuss the various points of interest and trends with regard to bathroom LED lights.

IP Value

You have probably seen it pass by a number of times, but there is a chance that you did not know exactly what it meant. If you want to install bathroom lamps, it is useful to know exactly what this IP value is. The IP value of a lamp represents the degree to which the lamp is watertight and dustproof and consists of IP with two digits behind it (eg IP20, IP44, etc.). Here the first digit stands for the dust tightness and the second digit for the water tightness. In a bathroom, it is therefore important to take these IP values into account when looking for bathroom LED lighting. The closer the lamp is to the water source, the greater the chance of splashing and the higher the IP value must be. Perhaps you opt for LED lighting in the bathtub or shower, then a high IP value is definitely required. In the diagram below you can see the meaning of the different IP values!

Atmospheric but functional

A good bathroom has different types of the LED light. For example, you need clear, functional LED light for the mirror, but mood LED lights are also very pleasant if you want to enjoy yourself in a hot bath. This can be done by installing dimmable lights in your bathroom. This allows you to use the same lamps for different purposes and you can turn that lamp above the mirror of a functional lamp into a cozy mood light. You must ensure that you have the right dimmable lamps and combine this with an external dim switch!

Recessed spots 

A common choice of lamps for the bathroom is, of course, the recessed spot, with this type of lamp you can ensure the best-LED light distribution in your bathroom. The possibilities with the recessed spot are endless, so you can simply install them in the ceiling, but you can also build them into the floor of, for example, your shower or in or under your cupboards for an attractive effect!

Hanging lamps in the bathroom

A not so obvious choice in the bathroom in terms of LED lights is the hanging lamp. Although hanging lamps often do not have a watertight IP value, they are really the ultimate mood makers among the lamps and can also provide a great LED light effect in the bathroom. It is then important that you install these lamps at a safe distance from water sources and that there is enough room for them in your bathroom at all. Stylish tip; for example, try a rustic chandelier in your bathroom, this will create a great classic atmosphere!

We hope to have been able to offer you a little more wisdom and inspiration regarding the LED lights of your bathroom. With LED lamplight, we know better than anyone how complicated it can be to make the right decisions. Above all, stay close to yourself when making interior choices, because it will remain your home and your bathroom! Good luck!
