The bathroom divided into protective areas Enjoy

You can ensure maximum safety and durability for your bathroom lights by choosing the right protection class. Our IP protection classes ensure that your lights are optimally protected against moisture and foreign bodies. This means you can choose exactly the right protection class depending on the installation location and be confident that your lighting will always work reliably and safely. With the right protection class, you benefit from a long-lasting installation that offers you long-term comfort and peace of mind.

• IP44: Protected against splash water from all directions – ideal for lights near sinks or mirrors.
• IP65: Jet-proof – suitable for use near showers or bathtubs.
• IP67: Protection against temporary submersion – perfect for particularly damp areas, e.g. near floor inlets.
• IP68: Protected against permanent submersion – required for lamps that are completely submerged in water, e.g. in hot tubs.

Designing the right light color for every purpose

Design your bathroom to suit your individual needs by choosing the right light color. Whether you want warm light for relaxing moments or brighter, clearer light for precise activities - you can create the ambience you want with different color temperatures. This way you benefit from comfortable and versatile lighting that turns your bathroom into a place of well-being while also meeting all practical requirements.

• Warm white light (2700-3000 Kelvin) is ideal for relaxing evenings in the bathtub.
• Neutral white light (3500-4500 Kelvin) is ideal for everyday tasks such as shaving or applying make-up.
• Daylight white light (5000-6500 Kelvin) is ideal for bathroom wall lights as it creates a bright and invigorating atmosphere, perfect for morning routines such as brushing teeth or skin care.

Brightness

For wall lights in the bathroom, we recommend that you choose a brightness of at least 400 to 800 lumens. This ensures that the room is sufficiently illuminated without appearing too bright. Good light is particularly important above the mirror or sink so that you can see everything clearly during your daily make-up routine or hair styling.

Placement

Transform your bathroom into an oasis of well-being with our high-quality wall lights. Position your wall lights strategically to set specific accents or create a uniform light pattern. Take a look at the different options and find the solution that suits you perfectly.

• Mirror lighting: Mount the lights on the sides of the mirror to avoid shadows.
• LED mirror light: The integrated LED lights in the mirror reduce unwanted shadows and ensure a clear, well-lit reflection. This allows you to design your beauty routine precisely and comfortably.
• Accent lighting: Use wall lights to highlight decorative elements such as elegant tiles or special paintings. Indirect lighting can give your bathroom an atmospheric light.
• General lighting: Place the lamp so that the entire bathroom is evenly illuminated.

Energy efficiency and sustainability

Modern LED wall lights are energy efficient and long-lasting. They not only save electricity, but also protect the environment. LED lights have a lifespan of around 20,000 to 50,000 hours. Use lamps or LED bulbs with a high energy efficiency class (A to G) and a long lifespan.

Practical functions

Wall lights in the bathroom not only provide you with light, but also practical functions that make your everyday life easier and increase comfort. The following functions make your bathroom lighting more comfortable and energy efficient:

• Integrated switch: Wall lights with their own switch allow you to operate them easily, independent of the main light switch.
• Pivoting light heads: Direct the light exactly where you need it - ideal for precise illumination on the mirror or atmospheric accents. Whether indirect light or direct lighting - decide spontaneously or after use.
• Dimming function: Whether for morning routines or relaxing evenings in the bathtub – regulate the brightness as desired with dimmable wall lights.
• USB or socket integration: Some models offer practical extras such as USB ports or integrated sockets for additional devices.
• Motion sensor: Suitable for going to the bathroom at night - the light switches on automatically when you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which IP protection class do I need for my bathroom wall lights?

For areas near water sources (e.g. sink or shower), you should choose wall lights with a protection class of at least IP44.

How many wall lights do I need for my bathroom?

This depends on the size of your bathroom and the desired light intensity. In small bathrooms, two lights next to the mirror are often sufficient. In larger rooms, additional light sources are useful.

Are LED wall lights suitable for the bathroom?

Yes, wall lights with LED bulbs are ideal for bathrooms. They are energy efficient, durable and do not heat up much, which makes them safer.

Can I install wall lights myself?

If you are handy, you can carry out the installation yourself. However, for connections in damp rooms, we recommend hiring an electrician.

Which light color is best for the mirror area?

Neutral white (3500-4500 Kelvin) is best because it simulates natural light and minimizes shadows.
