The modern bathroom is one multi-operational space, often moving from functional and utilitarian to a calming retreat within a day’s time. But bathroom lighting often goes neglected, and a poorly lit powder room can be a dim way to start each day.

Recessed lighting can add both function and style to the bath space, helping to create an area that makes it easy to relax and unwind. Bathroom recessed lighting offers a clean, modern look that blends into the architecture of the bath space. And, unlike regular wall or ceiling mounted light fixtures, recessed bath lights can be installed in shower stalls or over tub areas.

Vanity Lights provides ambient lighting when the shade is pointed up and task lighting when the shade is pointed down. Vanity lights mounted on either side of the bathroom mirror paired with a multi-light vanity light above create the ultimate ambient/task light combo. The vanity lights provide cross-illumination, making activities like applying make-up, shaving or flossing much easier.

White light, like LED lighting may be important for those that may be applying makeup in your bathroom. The best condition for applying makeup is a warm or natural light source. Natural sunlight provides the most accurate reflection of your face, but for those cloudy days when fresh rays aren’t an option, warm white light, like LED, is the next best thing.

Consider having a dimmer switch installed for your bathroom’s overall lighting (though fluorescent lighting doesn’t typically function on a dimmer switch). This will let you adjust the light to suit your needs and mood. Dimmers also make nighttime visits to the bathroom more bearable, since the light can be turned down below the blinding level.
