Have you recently moved and want to renovate your bathroom? Do you need to change the lighting in your laundry room, but you're not sure where to start?

We have prepared a guide to help you choose the right lighting for your bathroom, prioritizing your safety.

Here are the steps to follow to light up your bathroom.

1. Each point in your bathroom must be classified according to the IP protection rating.

Bathroom lighting requires specific lamps that meet certain standard protection requirements against water and moisture. These standards are represented by the IP value, which stands for "International Protection". The IP consists of 2 numbers: the first number indicates the degree of protection against solids, the second against water and moisture.

Depending on where you need to place your light source, you will need to choose lamps with a different IP rating: each area of the bathroom has specific rules, and the image on the side will help you identify them.

Zone 1: this is the area closest to the bathtub or shower (up to 225 cm above the bottom of the bathtub or shower), where there is a lot of moisture and certainly water. For this area, choose lamps with a high degree of protection, IP65: take a look at our water-resistant lamps from the EIVA range.

Zone 2 is located directly above the shower cabin, around the sink and bathtub, and up to 60 cm from zone 1. For this area, choose lamps with a minimum protection rating of IP44, such as the lighting solutions from Creative-Cables available with the Filè System and the Lumet System.
The rest of the bathroom is not in direct contact with water drops, but may be in contact with condensation and requires a minimum IP rating of IP21.

2. Each lamp has its function

We engage in many activities in the bathroom and besides choosing safe lighting that matches our furniture, it is important to choose it based on the function it can fulfill.

Let's see together how to make the most of the lighting in your bathroom.
