CREATING A LIGHTING PLAN
TASK LIGHTING When lighting the bathroom the first thing to consider is task lighting. This is lighting for functional use and delivers the right amount of illumination to carry out everyday bathroom tasks. MOOD LIGHTING Mood lighting is about transforming a space for both ambience and practicality. Consider LED strips for a soft glow under vanity units or creatively recess in tile work for decoration. Use profiles to mount flexible strips in cabinets and shelving to discreetly eliminate dark areas. CONVENIENCE LIGHTING Lighting storage areas, cupboards and drawers in the bathroom helps to illuminate the contents for ease of use, while also adding an extra element of luxury to the design.
LIGHT IN LAYERS Bathroom lighting is so much more than simple ceiling lighting. Be creative with application of light particularly around the vanity area where an illuminated mirror or cabinet is perfectly suited. COMPLEMENT THE INTERIOR DESIGN It is important to select the right LED colour temperature to not only match the bathroom interior colours and textures, but also to suit the mood and purpose of the bathroom. Warm white LEDS have a yellow tone and complement bathrooms featuring wooden surfaces and flooring. They also create a warm, relaxing ambience perfect for relaxing. Cool white LEDS combine well with modern, bold and minimal themes and are great for task lighting and creating a bright and revitalising environment. Sensio’s CCT range of bathroom products are ideal as they offer the ability to change the the colour temperature to best suit the mood and time of day.
IP RATINGS AND ZONES Perhaps, the most important factor when choosing bathroom lighting is to ensure that the light fitting is suitable for use in the area it will be installed. Follow the product IP rating and bathroom zone guide to select the right level of protection. The higher the rating, the greater the protection against particles and water ingress.
