Choose Recessed Lighting For A Bathroom

The lighting in your bathroom must serve several purposes, from general lighting overall to adjustable lighting around your makeup mirror. Recessed lighting can address these needs. Here's choose a model that will work in your bathroom.


Instructions


Decide Where You Need Light in your Bathroom


1. Study your bathroom at different times of the day and night to decide where you need to place lights.


2. Decide whether to use recessed lights only or a mix of recessed and other types of lighting.


3. Plan for recessed lights above the shower stall or tub to prevent accidents due to insufficient light.


4. Place recessed lights directly above the mirror or over the counter at vanity areas.








5. Use eyeball lights around the vanity to focus on your face and prevent shadows and glare.


6. Use focused lights to accent wall decor, if desired.


Choose Your Lights


7. Choose closed housings to prevent moisture from damaging the lights or causing a fire hazard.


8. Decide between fluorescent, HID and incandescent lights.


9. Choose trim to coordinate with the ceilings and the rest of the room.
