The bathroom is the very place in the apartment where we come to put ourselves in order before the event, where we come after a hard day to relax in the hot bath, where we come from early morning. What is the light in your bathroom? Bright? Cozy chamber? Point? And what should be the light in the bathroom?
Before thinking about lighting, it is worth examining the bathroom itself. The choice of light in this room depends entirely on:
- The color scheme of the room (if it is dark, then, of course, there should be more light);
- The size of the room;
- The number of zones in the room (relevant for a combined bathroom);
- The lighting fixtures themselves.
There are several original ideas for lighting the bathroom: for example, spot lighting of the bath itself. This idea is being developed even before the main repair, as it requires a lot of preparation - cables, fake beams, bath, etc. As well as luminaires must comply with the second class of shock protection electric shock. In addition, it should be understood that in the usual "Khrushchev" bathroom, such a design will be inappropriate due to the small area.
Chandeliers and lamps in the bathroom should be special - not impervious to water and not afraid of long exposure to moisture.
It is more correct to present such requirements to the chandeliers themselves and to lamps, rather than bulbs. Modern halogen, fluorescent and even incandescent lamps (which are often used as decorative) allow you to use them in the bathroom with the right lamp.
If you conduct light in the shower or directly to the bath, then you should choose low-voltage lamps, the voltage of which is not more than 12 volts.
As for the size of the room: if the bathroom is standard 4-5 square meters, then two 60 W lamps in one ceiling lamp will be enough for bright and comfortable light. Love to shave or apply makeup in the bathroom? Add the spotlights on the swivel “foot” to the mirror.
Larger rooms are best zoned with light - a bathing area, a dressing room area, and a toilet area.
