Fixtures for a bath

Choose the type of lighting devices in the bath, depending on the zone:

1. In the washing room, people clean up themselves, do hygiene procedures, so devices that produce a very dim glow are not suitable here. Buy LED lighting fixtures in the washroom, which are good for the bath, are economical and produce a bright light.
2. The waiting room is usually the safest room, so it is unnecessary for it to be too high. It is here that you can easily and almost without restrictions purchase LED and conventional lamps for old-style baths, various decorative devices.
3. The steam room is a very complex room, where high temperatures and high humidity prevail.

Not bad here are waterproof devices with conventional lamps of the classical type. Also suitable for steam halogen lamps. They are not afraid of high temperatures and are well protected from splashes, so many people put them in a steam room. But we note that halogen devices themselves are strong sources of heat.

The projector is usually carried outside the steam room, but with wiring when installing fiber optic devices, problems are rare. The lack of such devices is a high price, but for a wealthy person they can be at the design of lighting in the steam room a good find.

Design of fixtures for a bath

The most unusual lighting in this room can be created by LED and fiber optic lights. For example, for a skilful electrician, the effect of a starry sky, a living flame or aurora borealis is not now a very difficult task.
