Product Information

In modern times niche is associated with small alcoves, occasionally large enough to warrant shelves, but often they are smaller and only house a few precious nik-naks or items of interest to the homeowner. Our 20mm Plinth Lights offer an economical way to light alcoves and niches, available in single colour or colour changeable. Ambient lighting is vital as it fills in for the natural light in your bathroom. The uniform level of light that ambient lighting presents is enough to steer through the room safely. Without this essential lighting, you’d be tripping over things. IP rating, represented by two characters, indicates the Ingress Protection. These two numbers typically refer to the protection level. This coding system shows the degree of protection provided against breaches by objects and body parts, such as fingers, as well as an intrusion by water and dust. Surface ceiling lights for the bathroom, IP rated against the effects of water intake and suited for installation in bathroom zones 1 and 2.

The lighting of a niche with a spotlight from above is also appropriate in most contexts, historical or rustic, as it can be a wine cellar. In this case, the spotlight illuminates a bottle of wine, which would be a bit strange and excessive in a living room, but, if done in the place designated to the aging of wines, it helps to highlight the main function of the room and introduce us in its atmosphere as soon as we access it. The attention is focused on the wine and its aging through lighting. A niche, in architectural terms, is a scaled down exedra, a recessed structure in a wall which often had a domed or clamshell design. These would typically house a statue but in later years their size was scaled down to house a bust or reliques, relics of particular importance to the homeowner. Bathroom City’s selection of bathroom lighting fixtures not only brightens your bathroom but also presents a wealth of styles. The range of size options from top brands means you are guaranteed to find the best lighting for your bathroom. Task lighting, as the name suggests, is a bit self-explanatory. These lights make specific bathroom tasks easier. For instance, task lights illuminate the space around the mirror and vanity. Likewise, you can use these lights to illuminate the area near the shower enclosure and/or bathtub.Other things to consider include lighting, and whether you have sufficient power points, if you want your alcove painted in a bold colour, wallpapered, or even tiled for a feature wall. You must first assess the shape of the niche. If for example it is a niche of rectangular shape whose width is limited (maximum 60 cm), it is generally sufficient to provide for the installation of a spotlight recessed top that projects light downward. For general lighting in the bathroom or shower room we highly recommend our 8 Watt Samsung LED Ceiling Lights , they are IP65 making them suitable for use in any zone in the bathroom including above the shower. Recessed lights are best for use in showers, but you need to be careful to buy ones that are designed for use in wet and damp environments. The fact that they are recessed means they are flush to the ceiling, which ensures that damp does not build up and attract mould. What's more, they are easy to wipe over and keep clean. If you are looking for a spotlight with a high IP rating or a bulkhead that is IP65 rated, thus making it suitable for bathroom lighting, you are in the right plate.

Another old-fashioned bathroom lighting option is installing a single light source at the centre of the bathroom. You can only achieve a plain appearance when you do this.Well-planned bathroom lights are essential for a room which must alternate between being task focused and a relaxing sanctuary, sometimes several times a day. Furthermore, they must work equally well on both levels and at any time, night or day, so you cannot rely on natural daylight to satisfy the demands. It’s popular to opt for white lighting in a bathroom, a lighting colour that closely matches natural light. If you’re looking at a specific colour temperature, try going for a classic 2700K which is the closest to natural light. Some bulbs are even labelled ‘daylight’ to make it that much easier! The bathroom's hard and reflective surfaces encourage tremendous creativity. Consider fitting decorative wall lights at a low level to wash their light across the floor, or to highlight features like a freestanding bath. Alternatively, recess uplights into the floor itself to throw light up the walls instead of down them.

The best option is LEDs from Philips. They deliver bright, white light that brightens your bathroom. The other main feature of these bulbs is their affordability. Also, the manufacturer promises a decade of daily use before the need for replacement arises. 2. Number of Users

What to do with small bathrooms?

All of these lights are what we call auxiliary or mood lights and are easily added to a new or existing bathroom. Neutral white is perfect for bright light. But the best colour that promotes relaxation is warm white. The most important factor you need to consider when buying bathroom lights is the CRI (Colour Rendering Index) of the bulbs. CRI is a measure of the degree of accuracy that a light source renders colours.
