Bathroom Lighting For Function and Pleasure

Adequate lights are a must, and if you are remodeling your bathroom, get the most out of it by installing the

very best lighting for your needs and pleasure.

Bathroom lighting needs will depend on the size and function of the washroom hygiene equipment

The vanity is a standard fixture in bathrooms whether they are large or small. Bathroom lighting for the vanity

is important, and unfortunately even newer and more effective homes have inadequate vanity lighting.

The vanity area is special since it is used on a daily basis for grooming. The popularity over the last several

years has been bar lighting over the vanity mirror or medicine chest. Even though many bar lighting fixtures are

extremely attractive and often match or compliment the mirror or medicine chest, they aren't the best bathroom

lighting.

Because the vanity is used for grooming and applying makeup, good lights are essential. The best vanity

lighting inside a bathroom is the installation of two fixtures on opposite sides of the vanity mirror at face level.

This may call for some compromise with respect to the heights of the people in your household.

Bathroom lighting in the vanity area set up in this way will give better light, and avoid shadowing, making the

correct application of makeup easier.

If you're fortunate enough to have a large bathroom you might have several areas to think about for lighting.

General all purpose lighting may be needed for convenient in and out trips to the commercial washrooms. This

should be good enough light so that you can see adequately and be sure the medication you're taking is yours.

Another consideration is subdued lighting for the bath area. After a day at work a long absorb the tub can be

very pleasurable. Consider lounging in the warm water, the lights down low, and a quiet time all your own.

Bathroom lighting within the bath area will require some special consideration. Check your local codes. Special

lighting is required for a wet area like the bath and safety should be your first concern.
