01

Begin with even general light

Use more than one light source in a longer room so the shower and doorway do not sit in shadow. Bathroom zones and fitting ratings must guide the electrical plan.

02

Light the face, not only the top of the head

A mirror with side or surrounding light gives a clearer reflection than one ceiling spot behind the user. Check colour rendering if make-up or shaving matters.

03

Add a softer evening setting

A dimmable circuit or low-level feature can reduce glare at night. Keep switching simple so the useful setting is actually used.

What to remember

Plan lighting before walls close and let the mirror, fan and main lights work as one simple system.
