Lighting the bathroom

The bathroom should not be just a light. Features coverage here to be closer to the characteristic of the adjacent room that came in from him in the bathroom, do not feel discomfort from excess or lack of light. The eternal debate about the relation of decorative and functional qualities of the lamp burning issue for the bathroom. The question whether the illuminant to be decoration, even in the off state, is solved first and foremost in accordance with the stated objective of the stylistic and personal preferences of the inhabitants of the house. Options for lighting designers a lot - from a halogen "starry sky" to the magnificent chandelier in the center of the ceiling. Best of all, if the type of lamp supports the design of plumbing accessories, which are per unit volume of the bathroom a lot and who have taken to acquire a single collection. If the bathroom is extremely loaded with glowing decor, it is best to use inconspicuous or hidden from view fixtures. And only when the plumbing, faucets and bathroom finishes look inconspicuous, the lamp can be used as a striking decorative element. Decorative qualities of the working lamp can vary dramatically when it is turned on and off. Hanging for the time being a little modest light and does not attract attention. The light - and it begins: a game with shadows, colored reflections, refracted rays and shining faces. Is in the arsenal of modern lighting something that can give high aesthetics, even trivial water procedures. Aspiring to beauty, we must not forget about security demands, which with the utmost care should be observed in the bathroom lighting. Elect not forgive missteps - light sources should certainly be protected from direct exposure to moisture, and metal fittings of high-voltage light fixtures in the bathroom requires a mandatory grounding. In some cases, the bathroom lighting is provided by one lamp. However, this option is effective only for small rooms. The spacious bathroom for a uniform distribution of light install several lights. And the greater number of light sources, the lower may be their power, and hence size. Multi-position lighting satisfied with small lamps often with halogen lamps. The wide popularity of so-called "galogenok" associated with their miniaturization. However, most halogen sources working in the 12-volt mode, for which you want to install step-down transformer. Its cost is comparable to the cost of a complete set of lighting fixtures with lamps. Trying to save leads to disastrous results - cheap "oriental" articles out loud buzz and quickly fail. But the expensive high-quality transformers are not only reliable but also looks attractive. There's another possibility: a set of low-voltage "galogenok" transformer can be replaced by special halogen bulbs rated for 220V. Opportunities for modeling the lighting in the bathroom opens up the use of designs based on busbars and strings. Halogen lamps are embedded and transparent. Embedded designs are intended for installation in suspended ceilings, with ceiling material can be almost anything. Among the embedded lights there is a small range of embedded directly into the joists. A beam of light embedded in the ceiling fixtures often directed strictly to the floor that the bathroom is not always rational. For devices for general lighting is more suitable spotlights with adjustable angle. Due to various forms of current-carrying elements for attachment to both the ceiling and the walls of which can create many unique combinations. Mobile sources of light in such designs are not only easy to turn in the right direction, but also removed from the system without affecting its appearance. In the bathroom, as well as in other areas of the house, there is a need for zoning. Even in a small bathroom is technically simple expedient to allocate space near the mirror in a single functional area. In the bathroom with the same niches, podiums and met planning all sorts of delights can be indicated by even a few areas. For light sources of local zoning use of light. Lighting near the mirror in the bathroom is considered a worker.
