?Mirror light
Modern bathrooms are generally ceiling lights. In addition, if you install mirror lights or spotlights on the mirrors, they will work better together. The mirror lights or wall lights not only have the lighting effect but also can embellish the atmosphere. Before purchasing, you must first look at the quality of the lamp itself. It is best to choose a lampshade made of glass and a bracket made of metal. The light transmittance of the lampshade should be good, and the color and pattern should correspond to the decoration style.
?Warm wind Yuba
Yuba mainly solves the problem of bathing in winter. At present, there are common light-warming Yuba and wind-heating Yuba. The price of light-warming Yuba is low, and the temperature rises quickly and concentratedly, but they are not suitable for large bathrooms and are dazzling. The wind-heating Yuba is of high safety, uniform heating, suitable for large rooms, stylish appearance, but more power consumption and slow heating.
How to choose the color temperature of a restroom?
The best choice for bathroom lighting is yellow, because yellow lighting is easy to create a hazy and soft feeling, and it is also the most common warm light source. It can make the bathroom neither cold nor dazzling, and the bathroom space is not dim, making people relax. A bathroom that is too bright can make people feel insecure.
PRO TIP: The color temperature should not exceed 4000k.
Factors to consider when choosing restroom light
Lamps should not be too much
Generally, LED lights should be selected for overall lighting, preferably with soft brightness. And besides the vanity mirror in the bathroom, independent lighting fixtures must be installed as a supplement to the local lighting, and fluorescent lamps can be selected for the local lighting in front of the mirror to increase the feeling of spaciousness, warmth, and freshness.
Waterproof and moisture-proof
The bathroom has always been relatively humid. When choosing lamps, glass or plastic sealed lamps with reliable water resistance and safety should be the main choice. In addition, the shape of the toilet lamps should not be too complicated. It is not advisable to decorate the bathroom with complicated lamp shapes, and the position should not be too low to avoid unexpected accidents.
Warm colors are more suitable
For the light of the bathroom lamps, you should choose the type with warm yellow and soft light. This is mainly because the bathroom uses a lot of water daily, which is relatively humid, and the warm-toned lamps can make it less, and balance this feeling.
Do not expose the lamp connector
The bathroom is damp, so be careful when installing electric light wires. The connector and socket of the toilet lamp should not be exposed to the outside, and the lamp and switch should also be used with a safety protection function. If the light switch is a rocker type, it is best to install it outside the bathroom door, otherwise, a moisture-proof and waterproof panel should be used to prevent accidents caused by leakage of electricity due to moisture and water vapor.
Bulb wattage should not be too low
When installing bathroom lamps, pay attention to the wattage of the bulb and the brightness should not be too low. For safety, it is best to choose the bathroom lamp with IP (dust and waterproof rating) 65 and above, which means complete protection from dust. There is no harm in entering and washing with water. Considering the visual comfort, it is recommended to use indirect light sources or recessed lamps, and mirror lamps to provide general lighting. At the same time, you can choose a beautiful and suitable lampshade, and the bathroom can also be more amorous.
