On Bathroom Lightning – Part I

The American Lighting Association suggests you check with the professionals at lighting stores and showrooms for the broadest range of styles and knowledge.

1. Shower Power: Choose light fixtures designed for use in wet areas. Lighting in the shower stall should be bright to avoid spills while shaving and shampooing.

2. Tub Tip: To avoid glare, aim the light’s beam at the outside edge of the tub. Tubs, like showers, need good general light.

3. Window Dressing: Windows provide natural light to supplement or replace the electric options, particularly during the day.

4. Night Bright: Create a nightlight by illuminating the floor in the toe-space below vanities and cabinets with a linear lighting system.

5. Get Glowing: Indirect lighting with its hidden light source is purely aesthetic, adding a soft, warm glow to the bathroom.
