Bathroom lighting above the mirror – the perfect lighting in the bathroom

Having a good distribution of
light points in the home is important to achieve a suitable environment that
minimizes the effects of artificial lighting in our body, while it is
necessary if we want to save and contribute to sustainable energy consumption.

Given
that each house spends up to 410 kW per hour in lighting, industry
specialists review the keys and tricks to get an effective distribution of
light points in the various rooms and create environments that are suitable
for promoting
health.

Ideal
distribution of light
points.

The smallest
possible number of light points that each room needs is always measured in
the same way.  If the room is smaller
than 10m2, a single point of light is placed and it increases another point
per 10m2.

In the choice, we must take into
account the activity to be carried out in each room, because a workplace
requires a greater disposition of light than a less crowded one.  Excessive light spots should be
avoided.

When it comes to the type of light,
experts recommend that we put white light in the kitchen and bathroom and
warm light in the rest of the rooms. 
The warm atmosphere is achieved with light bulbs with a temperature of
about 2800 Kelvin.  For this, it must
also take into account the characteristics of each home.  If we have dark walls, we need to
distribute the light with headlights of white light and halogens, while we
have very clear walls, we can reduce the light intensity in a single
spotlight with warm
light.

Bathroom
lighting.

It is common
to use white LED lights.  We can choose
a large light point in the ceiling with a focus on downlight or by
distributing small halogens.

It is important to
install white bathroom lamps above the mirror and place secondary lamps on
the sides so that you do not force your eyes through the light and shadow
effect, which stems from poor lighting, and to include plugs near it, always
more than one meter for to avoid accidents.
