How to design LED lighting for the bathroom


led ceiling light, led spotlight
How many times have we approached the bathroom mirror feeling a certain discomfort for the reflected light? This is just one of the many eventualities linked to a bad design of LED lighting (and not) for the bathroom. Together with the mirror, we must consider the humidity of the air, which after a hot shower can approach 100%, forcing us to select lamps with a high IP rating (two digit number, the second of which indicates the protection level of the appliance from water). Further considerations concern the position of windows and skylights and therefore the possibility of playing or not with natural light. For a design in a workmanlike manner it is necessary to study the size, orientation and characteristics of the bathroom, Nowadays, the companies' proposals are truly endless and anyone with a minimum of resourcefulness, creativity and imagination can indulge themselves and achieve surprising results, sometimes without even needing mural interventions on the bathroom. Very valid are the latest generation wall lamps, see the Kioo LED model in painted aluminum with wrinkle effect and polyethylene diffuser or the Skinny wall lamp in the shape of a shelf, excellent to place above the mirror. As for the LED ceiling lamps, we highlight the original Hula Hoopin the Blue-Yellow-Chrome-White and Red-Orange-Chrome-White versions, or, on the contrary, the rational and geometric Next ceiling LED ceiling light, a futuristic lamp with four slits from which light flows like in the canvases of Lucio Fontana.
If the modern style mainly uses lamps, ceiling lights and wall lamps, the contemporary bathroom can only be illuminated by LED strips and spotlights. The high brightness and efficiency LED strips are perfect for highlighting the edges of the shelves or the floor, but also for more intriguing light effects on the shower cubicle and the bathtub. The recessed LED spotlights instead help to enhance elements of certain importance such as a piece of furniture, a plant or sculpture. Finally, let's not forget the contribution that devices can make to modulate the intensity of light (the so-called dimming drivers): some lamps have included them, for others compatible devices must be purchased separately.

Mini LED lighting guide for the garden

Image
LED garden lighting is typically obtained with floor lamps, a macro-category of solutions that includes floor lamps, recessed spotlights, posts and other models of various shapes. These LED lighting devices are designed to withstand primarily weather, i.e. rain, frost and humidity (saltiness is a separate chapter that would require further study). The buyer who wishes to buy one or more accessories for the LED lighting in the garden, therefore, must check that the lamps have a good IP rating. This value, present in the package, certifies protection from dust and foreign bodies (first digit) and from water (second digit). The minimum value is zero, the maximum is 68, where 6 indicates complete protection from dust and 8 protection against the effects of submersion in water. Just to give you some examples at hand, let's point out among the LED lamps for garden lighting the Otix outdoor spotlight, the garden lamp Oh! Mars Out and the Smash Out floor lamp, all with IP 65 and comp...

How to light up the garden with LED lamps

Image
Lighting the garden with LED lamps is an effective, safe and economical solution. Given the slightly higher cost involved, choosing to light the garden with LED lamps means amortizing costs in the long term, improving the quality of the light and reducing maintenance (primarily replacing the light bulb). The reasons for adopting this type of lighting are wasted, and more and more people, but also professionals and companies, who prefer to light their garden with latest-generation LED lamps. As a result, the market has invested in this direction, offering a catalog of outdoor LED lamps that is never as wide and diversified as it is today. But be careful: not all LED lamps are designed for outdoor use. The utmost attention must be paid to the materials, to the presence of any drivers, and above all to the IP rating given in the technical data sheet. The latter value ranges from 00 to 68, although more levels have recently been added to the top of the ranking, i.e. IP69K (German sta...
