Lighting King

 

From relaxing, reading and shaving, to making up, washing and bathing the bathroom is indeed one of man’s best rooms to be. And with the right choice of bathroom lights, those whistled tunes and bathroom songs will sound happier than they’ve ever been. However, as much as people love their bathrooms, a bathroom light tends to be the last item on their home lighting agenda.       

 

You can do better than that by going in for bathroom lighting that won’t only accentuate your bathroom décor and create a pleasant ambience, but will be highly efficient for every function performed there. While there are several types of bathroom lights designed for different functions, here are two you’ll find truly useful.

 

 

The mirror is more often than not the first and last item that most people look into for a quick check of their appearance, before leaving home every morning. This is where a smart choice of bathroom lighting makes a difference. That’s because quality bathroom mirror light options help to reflect an accurate, clear and natural picture of one’s facial appearance and more, depending on the mirror’s size. 

 

Here are some types of bathroom lights that are ideal for your comfort room.

 

Recessed lights - Recessed bathroom lights are one of the most popular fixtures in modern bathrooms today, and are ideal for bathroom mirror light use.  For effective bathroom mirror lighting, recessed lights work most effectively when combined with diffused lighting fixtures, as this will help to eliminate image-obstructing shadows. What’s important to facilitate a good cross- lighting effect, is to have the diffused lighting fixtures installed a little above average eye level, and on either side of your mirror. 

 

Bar Lights - This is another popular bathroom mirror light option, and an essential feature of bathroom lighting. Bathroom light bars come in different lengths and can be either wall-mounted or fixed to bathroom counters. Longer lengths of bar lights eliminate the need for additional bathroom mirror light fixtures. Bar lights are available in antique and contemporary styling and are equipped with shades that are either translucent or frosted (white) glass. Their bodies come in polished brass, chrome-plated metal, and other metal finishes.     

 

 

 

Here’s a way to turn your bathroom lights into something special, and give yourself more reasons to stay a little longer in your bathroom every time you visit it. That’s what bathroom vanity lighting can do to your bathroom experience. 

This system of lighting can be achieved with a single bathroom light fixture or in combination with various other types of fixtures. 

 

Here are 3 popular types of bathroom vanity lighting fixtures. 

 

Vanity strips - This lighting fixture usually acts as the main lighting source for the vanity area, because it is designed to deliver adequate and precise lighting intensity to perform specific vanity tasks such as applying makeup, brushing teeth, shaving, hairstyling, etc. Vanity strip lights are available in 2 - 4 bulb placements or more. These lights can be installed to face up or down, depending on the amount of light required around the vanity countertop. 

 

Sconces - These are usually wall-mounted and work well in pairs i.e., if installed on either side of bathroom mirrors. Sconces come in decorative styles including those with multicoloured, globular-shaped glass covers for the bulbs.

 

Pendants - These fixtures are usually installed in bathroom ceilings and suspended from there to any desired height. Owing to their uncommon styles and shapes, pendants are also a popular bathroom light fixture.

 

You can even go in for bathroom lights that include ceiling and recessed lights, both of which come in different styles, designs and sizes. Of course, this will depend on your budget, and more importantly, whether you wish to make the bathroom ... your best room.
