Bathroom Lighting

The right lighting can completely change how a bathroom feels, from a bright, practical glow for your morning routine to something softer for an evening bath. Our range covers every design style, with fixtures built to withstand daily steam and humidity without losing their finish. Whatever look you're going for, you'll find lighting here that meets Irish safety standards and suits the rest of your bathroom.

Building a Layered Lighting Design

One light source is rarely enough to do a bathroom justice. Combining different fittings lets you divide the room into practical zones, each doing a specific job rather than asking one fixture to do everything.

• Ambient lighting - general illumination
• Task lighting - mirrors, shaving and makeup
• Accent lighting - highlighting architectural or decorative features

Bathroom Ceiling Lights

Ceiling fittings provide the core illumination for the room. Flush mounts sit tight against the ceiling, which helps preserve headroom in smaller bathrooms, while recessed downlights give a cleaner, more modern finish and can be spaced evenly to remove dark corners.

Bathroom Wall Lights

Wall fixtures earn their keep around the mirror, where task lighting matters most. Positioning wall lights on either side rather than directly above removes harsh shadows across the face, which makes shaving or applying makeup considerably easier.

Safety Ratings for Bathroom Light Fixtures

Bathroom electrical installations are divided into zones based on their proximity to baths and showers, with different requirements applying to fittings installed in different locations. The appropriate IP rating depends on the fitting's position and the applicable Irish electrical requirements. Always check the manufacturer's installation instructions and have electrical work carried out by a suitably qualified electrician.

Matching Your Fixtures

Lighting works best when it ties in with the rest of the room. We offer both modern and traditional designs across a range of finishes, including polished chrome, matt black and brushed brass. Coordinating your fittings with your bathroom mirrors and bathroom accessories creates a more considered, finished look overall.

FAQs Bathroom Lights

What IP rating do I need for bathroom lights?

IP44 is generally the minimum for fittings near sinks, baths and showers, while anything installed directly inside a shower enclosure needs an IP65 rating. Check with your electrician if you're at all unsure.

Can I put regular lights in a bathroom?

Standard fittings aren't designed for wet environments and shouldn't be used in one. Bathroom-specific lights are sealed to keep moisture and steam away from the wiring inside.

Should I choose warm or cool white bulbs?

It really comes down to preference. Warm white tends to suit a more relaxing atmosphere, while cool white gives brighter, crisper light that's better suited to tasks like shaving or applying makeup.
