How To Use LED Lighting In A Bathroom
LED lights are an excellent choice for your bathroom due to their long life and efficient use of energy in comparison to their incandescent counterparts. Their versatility means that they can be used for ambience as well as to accentuate certain features of your bathroom, and their long life means you don’t have to worry about squeezing into awkward places to change the bulb!
LED lights offer many designs and variations to choose from, with some bathroom fixtures embedding LED lights into their design. Instead of hanging a plain mirror over your bathroom sink, you could opt for a mirror embedded with LED lights to create a beautiful yet practical space for make-up application or shaving. You don’t have to worry about getting too close to the bulbs as you peer into your mirror, as unlike incandescent bulbs, LED lights do not emit any heat. LED lights also work very well as the main light in any bathroom or en suite, and can also be used as wall lights. How the light is emitted is dependent on the shape of the fixture you choose, which allows you to spotlight certain areas of your bathroom if you wish.
As LED lights become increasingly popular, design options continue to grow and expand, ensuring there is more than enough choice to suit your needs. Aside from traditional lighting, LED lights can be used in unusual ways to create a special bathroom ambience. LED lights are available in a variety of colours and it is possible to have colour changing lights installed in your bathroom, making for a beautiful display. There are many bathroom fixtures, ranging from taps, sinks, showers and bathtubs that can have LED lights integrated, transforming the look of your bathroom.
Imagine turning on your tap and having the colour change from red to blue depending on the heat of the water! It is also possible to have LED lights integrated into your shower, so the cascading water is lit in all the colours of the rainbow. If you’d rather a more subtle display, you can use coloured lights to illuminate an otherwise plain aspect of your bathroom, such as blue LED lighting behind a mirror as seen in My Beautiful Bathroom’s bathroom designs. It is possible to create a dazzling effect by use of transparent bathroom fixtures, which are then lit from within using LED lights.
However, more popular and less flamboyant is the use of polyethylene sinks and bathtubs that are gently lit from within using LED lights, creating a soft and subtle glow in the colour or colours of your choice. This beautiful mixture of light and water makes a striking addition to any bathroom suite. Whether you choose to go for incredible rainbow lighting or something more practical and efficient, LED lighting is easy to use and maintain, and can be easily added to your existing bathroom.
