How to choose bathroom lighting

A bathroom needs bright, shadow-free light for shaving and make-up, softer light for relaxing, and fittings that are safe in a wet room. Choosing the right product starts with where each light will go.

Understand the zones

Bathrooms are divided into zones based on distance from the bath or shower. Fittings closest to water need the highest protection against moisture, and in some areas only low-voltage or specially rated equipment is allowed. Outside the zones, ordinary fittings may be acceptable, but steam still makes an IP-rated fitting a sensible choice. Always confirm requirements in current wiring regulations, such as BS 7671 Section 701, before specifying.

Types of bathroom light

IP-rated downlights give clean ceiling light and can be positioned over the shower or bath when suitably rated; more options are in our ceiling downlights range.
Ceiling and globe lights provide general light from a single central point.
Wall lights and shaver lights light the face at the mirror, reducing shadows.
Spotlight plates allow adjustable GU10 lamps to be aimed where needed.

Specifications and installation tips

Check IP rating, fire rating for ceilings that require it, and whether you want integrated LED or replaceable GU10 lamps from our LED lamps range. Neutral or cool white helps with grooming tasks, while dimmable fittings let the room relax in the evening. Switch with a ceiling pull-cord or a wall switch outside the room, and remember that extraction is often installed alongside the lighting; see our extractor fans. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for every fitting.

FAQ's Ask Your Own Question

What are the bathroom lighting zones?: Bathroom zones describe areas around a bath or shower where the risk from water is highest. Zone 0 is inside the bath or shower tray, zone 1 is directly above it up to a set height, and zone 2 surrounds zone 1. Each zone has minimum requirements for IP rating and equipment type. Outside these zones, normal rules generally apply. Check current wiring regulations for exact dimensions and requirements.
Can I fit a downlight directly above a shower?: Yes, provided the downlight is rated for that zone. Fittings above a shower are usually in zone 1, where a high IP rating such as IP65 is commonly required, and the fitting must be suitable for the circuit protection in place. A fire-rated version may also be needed depending on the ceiling. Check current wiring regulations and the manufacturer's instructions before installing.
What is the difference between a shaver light and a shaver socket?: A shaver light combines a mirror or wall light with a dedicated shaver outlet, while a shaver socket is a standalone outlet. Both use an isolating transformer designed for low-power shavers and toothbrushes only, which is why they are permitted in bathrooms where standard sockets are not. Dual-voltage models such as the Eterna shaver light suit shavers designed for either voltage. Never use one for other appliances.
What colour temperature is best for a bathroom?: Neutral to cool white, around 4000K, gives clear, accurate light for shaving, make-up and cleaning, while warm white around 2700K–3000K feels more relaxing. Many bathrooms combine the two, with a cooler light at the mirror and warmer or dimmable ceiling lights. CCT-switchable downlights such as the Kosnic Mauna III let you set the colour temperature on site.
Do bathroom lights need a pull-cord switch?: Not always, but a standard wall switch must be positioned outside the zones, which in a small bathroom often means placing it outside the room. A ceiling pull-cord switch is the usual solution for controlling lights from inside the bathroom. Some installations use switches rated for bathrooms within permitted distances. Check current wiring regulations for switch positions in rooms containing a bath or shower.
How many downlights do I need in a bathroom?: A small bathroom or en-suite often needs around four to six downlights, depending on the lumen output, ceiling height and layout. Position lights over the shower, bath and basin rather than just on a grid, so key areas are well lit. Supplementing ceiling lights with a mirror or wall light reduces shadows on the face and can mean fewer downlights are needed.
