BATHROOM
Recommended Light Levels By IES:
Bathrooms are often overlooked when it comes to lighting, but a well-lit bathroom can significantly enhance both functionality and ambiance. Whether you’re getting ready for work, relaxing in a bubble bath, or applying makeup, USAI Lighting offers a variety of solutions to create a bright and inviting space.
Lighting Tips:
Importance of High Light Levels: Adequate lighting is crucial for grooming tasks such as applying makeup, shaving, and brushing teeth in the bathroom.
Suitability for High-Humidity Environments: Choose lighting fixtures specifically designed for high-humidity environments to ensure optimal performance and safety. USAI Lighting offers damp-rated, wet-rated, and spa/sauna rated fixtures for these demanding locations.
Versatility of Recessed Downlights: Recessed downlights are a popular choice for general bathroom illumination and can be wet-location listed for use over showers and bathtubs, providing both functionality and safety.
Enhancing Vanity Area Illumination: Proper illumination for vanity areas goes beyond overhead lighting. Task lighting, such as sconces mounted on either side of the mirror or integrated lighting within the mirror, ensures shadowless illumination for grooming tasks.
Benefits of Dimmers: Dimmer switches allow adjustment of light levels throughout the day, creating a bright and invigorating atmosphere in the morning and a relaxing ambiance in the evening.
