As in any room, the light in the bathroom should be bright enough so that there is no need to strain your eyesight, and at the same time should not negatively affect the nervous system. The specificity of the bathroom adds one more requirement: the light source must be resistant to high humidity. What are the lamps for the bathroom?
Variety of light
For most rooms, the standard plane for placing the light source is the ceiling . The bathroom may rather act as an exception, as will be discussed below, but, nevertheless, it is quite acceptable for it to have a ceiling lighting option.
Among the ceiling lighting fixtures for the bathroom are popularly used halogen . Compared with incandescent lamps, halogen lamps shine two times brighter, and serve up to three times longer. In addition, halogen bathroom fixtures are built-in, and they are easy to install on their own. For a bathroom of modest size, four such decorative lamps will suffice.

Another option for ceiling lighting fixtures for the bathroom is a plafond . Reminiscent of the form of a pill or ball, these lamps are known to every inhabitant of the post-Soviet space. However, since their appearance, certain changes have taken place in the world of lighting devices, and now the range of plafond lamps has been significantly enlarged due to new colors and sizes. In addition, today these lamps use not only incandescent lamps, but also energy-saving light bulbs.

Completely protects the lamp from water, steam and dust design of spotlights for the bathroom . As a rule, metal and glass are used as a material for such luminaires.

In the case of lighting furniture in the bathroom it is important to remember the need for a waterproof tape. "Highlight" can be like a bath or a sink, and hooks for towels, shelves and even soap dishes.
But, of course, the main element of the interior of the bathroom, requiring lighting, remains a mirror. Most often - though not always - it is near the mirror that the wall lamp for the bathroom is placed. He should evenly illuminate the person approaching to the mirror, as well as not to leave the dark corners of the bathroom. Wall lamps give a softer, non-glaring light than the ceiling, creating a cozy and romantic atmosphere in the bathroom.

In addition to the above option, how to place a lamp for a mirror in the bathroom, you can also have a more unusual approach to lighting. In this case, an LED strip is laid between the mirror plane and the mirror itself, which creates a re-reflection effect when the light is turned on. Especially the original kind can be achieved using color LEDs.

The LED strip can be positioned both along the whole perimeter of the mirror, and behind it or along its lateral faces. But on whatever version of the lighting we have not stopped, it is worth considering that the lighting will dim when the mirror surface is misted up.
Of course, you can try to quickly get rid of condensate on your own, but more productive in this case will have a special heated mat. Located under the mirror and warming it, such a rug prevents the very formation of condensation.
