Correct mirror lighting in the bathroom

It is assumed that the mirror is the central place of every bathroom, and thus its lighting has a key impact on the reception of the entire room. In addition, practical issues are hard to belittle. Regardless of the general light, a daily toilet with an inadequate lighting fixture or bathroom reflector can be a challenge.

Wall lamp, wall mounted, and maybe bathroom lights?

It is worth devoting a bit more time to the design of bathroom mirror lighting. Choosing the right sconce or binding should be conditioned primarily by the size of the mirror itself, the equipment and the character of the bathroom and the broadly understood lighting conditions; if we have a window in the room and access to natural light, we will probably need a slightly more powerful source of artificial light to eliminate reflections and shadows on the face.

A good idea for the basic lighting of the mirror is the choice of the upper wall lamp, which has a translucent frame with a white or milky color, including bathroom sconce AQUAFORM SET RAW HERMETIC, in this way we can slightly soften the source, and at the same time avoid dazzling, becoming every day in front of the mirror.

Modern bathroom sconces with cylindrical shapes, which can be mounted vertically on both sides of the mirror (eg Astro Karla 7161), as well as complete wall luminaires, are becoming more and more appreciated by architects. Many people also reach for sconces whose place of light can be changed depending on the individual needs of the user. In this category, we can distinguish ASTRO bathroom wall light Tokai Twin 6137.

We choose the color of light, eliminate unnecessary shadows

When choosing bathroom lighting, it is also worth paying attention to the color of the light of the LED bulbs that we install in a sconce, frame or reflectors. We encourage you to choose those with a warmth of 3000K or a natural color of 4000K, which in the case of women can be crucial in the selection of daily makeup.

An important issue when illuminating the mirror is also the place of assembly of the wall lamp, fixtures or reflectors. It is unacceptable for any source of light to be reflected in the mirror, let alone cast shadows on the face of the person who uses it. When planning the whole lighting in the bathroom (more read in the article: Practical and decorative bathroom lighting), it should be remembered that none of the lighting points appeared on the wall opposite to the one on which we hung the mirror.

Ultimately, it's worth bearing in mind that security issues can decide what type of lighting you want to install on the mirror. We encourage you to choose only those that are distinguished by IP44 minimum leakage class, which allows you to install the device in rooms with high humidity.
