Lighting in the bathroom

Often we do not even think how much time we spend in the bathroom, washing, brushing his teeth, taking a shower or bath. And for other equally important things, we have to go into this room. That's why designers believe that lighting in the bathroom should be given a lot of attention.
In our apartments you can often see that Bathroom lighting is provided by a single light bulb, lonely hanging on the ceiling or near the wall. Architects often do not provide windows in such rooms, so in this case you have to rely entirely on artificial light. But how to correctly and harmoniously arrange lighting in the bathroom, sometimes they do not know everything.
To get started, you should talk about security lighting, because the bathroom is constantly increased humidity. Therefore, when developing the lighting scheme, pay attention to the position of the fixtures. First, do not drop water on any incandescent bulbs. The combination of a high incandescent temperature of the spiral and the ingress of cold water droplets onto the glass leads to an imminent explosion of the bulb. It is also important to take into account the fact that all light sources must be leakproof. Fortunately, there are just such lights. A sticking bare wire is generally not allowed in the bathroom, because water is an excellent conductor. Therefore, plan lighting in the bathroom only with these precautions taken into account.
Now we should pay more attention to the very issue of light. Light in the bathroom can be placed on three levels: the lower one (up to 40 cm from the floor level), the middle one (from 75 cm from the floor) and the upper one (the ceiling). This lighting in the bathroom can and should be combined.


Let's start with the ceiling or top lighting. In small-sized premises you can useonly one source of top lighting. But for large rooms such a lamp will not be enough. Therefore, you can experiment with the distribution of light. In this case, you will use several lamps. The more light points, the smaller the bulbs, and therefore the dimensions, and their power.
High ceilings in the bathroom can bring a lot of inconvenience, because the roomis too elongated. But high ceilings also allow the use of reflected light technology. For this, an aluminum suspension is fixed at a distance of 40 cm from the ceiling. On its lower bearing part there are several spotlights. But on the upper part mount lamps with a wide angle of dispersion. This way you get direct and reflected light, with which you can get the required level of illumination.
Average lighting is also called working. With its help there is a zoningcertain parts of the bathroom. Two lamps on the sides illuminate a mirror and a washbasin. It is very important to arrange the lamps so that they are not reflected in the mirror. Lamps made of frosted glass can be used as light diffusers for lamps. The use of colored glass will be unacceptable, because the natural color of your face will be distorted.
Also Work lighting gives you the opportunity to highlight other areas in the bathroom. Illumination of furniture is an additionaloption lighting. But most often you can see the positional lighting of the bath itself. Of course, you can immediately buy a bath with autonomous illumination. But there are less cheap ways to create interesting lighting. You can hang a sconce over the bathroom with a shade of colored glass. Alternatively, you can select the bath zone with a beam of light, leaving the entire room in the dim light. This way of selecting a zone will help you relax and rest comfortably.
Floor lighting refers to the decorative. This additional decorative lightingsuitable for creating fancy light effects. Therefore, you can suggest you use a variety of floor lamps, flashlights or portholes. Such outdoor muted lighting will also help you relax in the bathroom after a long and arduous working day.
