Bathroom Lights
Bathroom lights need protection against splashing water. Here you'll only find lights rated at least IP44 – wall lights next to the mirror and ceiling lights for the wet zone.
Buying guide
In the bathroom, safety zones apply: directly in the shower and bath (zones 0 and 1), only lights with IP67 or IP65 and extra-low voltage. Within 60 cm of the shower and bath (zone 2), at least IP44. Outside that, for example next to the mirror, IP20 is enough if no splashes reach it.
Only lights with at least IP44 are listed here. For the mirror: two wall lights left and right at eye level give better light than one from above.
Which IP rating do I need in the bathroom?
Next to the washbasin and mirror IP44, in the splash zone of shower and bath IP65. Inside the shower itself only lights with IP67 and extra-low voltage – we don't stock those.
Can fabric cable go in the bathroom?
Outside the protection zones, yes – for example as a pendant above the washbasin more than 60 cm from the bath. The lamp holder should then be IP44.
Which colour temperature for the mirror?
2700–3000 K and at least 500 lm so skin tones look natural. Two lights at the sides instead of one from above avoid shadows on the face.
