To illuminate a bathroom, lamps with a brightness of up to 200 lumens per square meter of area are sufficient.
What light is best to use in the bathroom
Traditional incandescent lamps, as well as fluorescent and LED light sources, are suitable for bathrooms.
It is unsafe to use halogen light bulbs in rooms with high humidity - if water gets on them, the glass can simply “explode” and injure the user.
What kind of lamps are used in the bathroom
Lamps with a degree of protection IP68 are installed in water.
This is the highest possible degree of dust and moisture protection.
Products with this marking are sealed and are immersed under water.
As a rule, lamps are not built into the bathtub itself, and shower cabins are provided with standard lighting from the cabin manufacturer.
Which LED strip to use in the bathroom
Sealed LED strips IP65 and higher are intended for use in rooms with high humidity.
The choice of IP protection degree depends on the installation location of the lighting in the bathroom.
The greater the likelihood of water getting on the LED strip, the greater the degree of protection required.
Is it possible to hang a chandelier in a bathtub
The main thing is that the ceilings allow it.
If the ceilings do not allow it, but you have a separate bath and separate shower, then feel free to place a chandelier above the bath.
The chandelier should not be hung where there is direct contact with water, and it is better to choose built-in and spotlights with a high degree of moisture protection.
Previously, we told you how to choose a ceiling lamp.
