Bathroom lighting
Clean, shadow-free light for the mirror
Bathrooms are wet zones that also need very good face lighting. Light the face from both sides — never from above only.
How bright?
60
lumens per sq ft (range 40–80)
A typical 6 × 8 ft room needs about 2,880 lm.
What colour?
3000–4000K
Target 3000K
Use IP44+ rated lights in wet zones.
Quick tips
- Check IP ratings: IP44 for splash zones, IP65 inside the shower.
- Use 3000–4000K with 90+ CRI for accurate skin tones.
- Flank the mirror with lights — avoid one light above it.
Layers
Three layers make a great room
01
Ambient light
A sealed (IP44+) ceiling light or shower-rated downlights.
02
Task light
Vanity lights either side of the mirror at eye level.
03
Accent light
A toe-kick or mirror-halo strip adds a spa feel.
