Thinking of renovating or redecorating bathroom? Bathroom lighting often gets neglected. Well-designed lighting will not only enhance a space and create a luxury feel, but it will also make the bathroom shine and increase its value.
Effective bathroom lighting will give enough light to perform daily personal hygiene and carry out activities such as hair styling, applying makeup, brushing teeth, and shaving as well as illuminating the entire space
It requires special attention and care when choosing bathroom lights, as there are strict rules and regulations (AS/NZS3000) for installing them in Australia and New Zealand.
With a varied choice of bathroom downlights, bathroom wall lights, bathroom spotlights and bathroom vanity lights, we can assist you through the product selection process.
If a light on our site catches your eye and you’d like to use it for bathrooms, please get in touch with us to enquire!
Bathroom ceiling lights are a great option for versatile lighting solutions. Recessed ceiling fixtures are a good choice for general illumination. They cast light evenly throughout the room, reducing shadows.
The process of choosing bathroom overhead lighting can be overwhelming. Bathroom downlights are an excellent choice for brightening the shower, tub and sink areas.
There are two types of downlights commonly used for bathroom lighting.
The recommended bathroom lights in this area are IP65 downlights. With protect against low-pressure jets of water from the shower, IP65 recessed downlights can be used above shower cabins and bathtubs. The most popular IP65 waterproof downlights are Aqua(recessed), Seal(recessed), Poseidon (recessed), Amphitrite(recessed), Ariel(recessed) and Yuka (surface mounted) downlights.
IP44-rated are designed for use in bathrooms and other environments where water spray is a risk. We supply a wide range of IP44 downlights, check our full downlight range for inspiration. There is no need to use IP-rated fittings in Outside Zones. However, if there is any chance of a direct water jet being used for cleaning purposes in zones, an IP 65-rated fitting must be used.
No matter the size of the bathroom, multiple light sources will always enhance the design. Wall-mounted light fixtures are a popular choice for bathroom vanities. Consider adding bathroom wall lights to your bathroom projects as they can add dimension to the room and eliminate unwanted shadows that cast by overhead lights. We have a wide variety of modern bathroom wall lights in different styles, colours and sizes, check the full range.
Overall, bathroom downlights remain the go-to light source for modern bathrooms, but there is a growing preference for bathroom vanity wall lights also to be integrated. For alternatives to bathroom sconces, consider strips and extrusions.
