Shower Lights - Bathroom Lighting

Quite often older properties updated the bathroom and installed a shower, either over an existing bath or on one of the walls where a bath used to be.

This is a sensible move but it can be made even better by adding bathroom shower lights that will specifically illuminate the shower area.

All too often the lighting in a bathroom is served by a central ceiling light, which offers terrific illumination but to have one directly above a shower is practical and luxurious. It may cause shower users to linger in there a little longer than they should or it might quicken them up if they can see exactly what and where has been lathered and drenched clear.

There are considerations in the UK and you should look out for shower lights that are IP65 rated. The housing of a shower light needs to be completely moisture sealed and recessed into the ceiling above the shower. This ensures safety and means that the lights should be suitable for all zones in a house – 1, 2 and 3.

Installing a shower light in an en suite or in an existing bathroom will instantly update it and make it seem much more ‘spa’ like and inviting. It will also mean you will be able to see into all the corners when you are cleaning so that it always looks its best and is hygienic for use – even after washing down the dogs from a particularly muddy walk, or a child who has discovered the joys of rolling in dirt . . . these things happen.
