No bathroom is complete without the element of light. Fortunately, installing bathroom lighting can be one of the most accommodating components of your bathroom remodel. Lighting can be adjusted and positioned to highlight specific areas or tone down brightness for a more relaxed mood. To begin with, you can choose from a variety of lighting types according to your preferences.
Good un-shadowed lighting in a bathroom is the key to looking your best outside the bathroom. Too much light can be blinding and uncomfortable, too little light can be straining and can make simple activities difficult. An ideally lit bathroom will provide comfortable, adequate, un-shadowed light.
Bath and Vanity: This is most popular type of bath lighting and is commonly found in the three bulb style but is also available in two bulb and four or more bulb configurations. This fixture is installed directly above the mirror and sink. The number of bulbs you will require depends on the length of your mirror, the longer your mirror the more bulbs you will need to comfortably light the space.
Sconces: Sconces are a great addition to the sides of a mirror and help to even out the light on your face and eliminate shadows during activities such as makeup application and shaving. In addition sconces add a decorative touch to help complete your overall design.
Ceiling Lighting: Ceiling Lighting is used in addition to the lighting around the mirror. Ceiling lighting helps to illuminate the rest of the bathroom and can be used in the center of the room or in alcoves improving overall conformability and safety.
