Bathroom Lights
Great care needs to be taken when choosing bathroom lighting as the regulations are strict concerning the type of lighting that you can use.

For general illumination use either downlights for their colour, or a flush ceiling fitting to suit the decor. Portable lights are not permitted in bathrooms so for mood lighting use ceiling mounted spotlights aimed at interesting features.

The bathroom mirror deserves special attention and a diffused glass light either side will give a good general illumination where it is needed. The alternative is a halogen downlight from the ceiling, or a fluorescent strip over the mirror. The latest generation of mirrors incorporate lights in the fittings themselves. This is a very effective way of generating an even light whilst improving safety.

Lights designed specifically for showers must be carefully fitted by a qualified electrician according to the IEE Wiring Regulations (16th Edition). Bathroom and some outdoor lights are classified by an IP Rating, which stands for 'Ingress Protection' and is always followed by two numbers referring to the level of protection offered. It is important to choose fittings with the correct rating according to where they are to be sited within the bathroom.
