Lighting in a Bathroom ...

Any room in a house can be transformed with the right lighting, and the bathroom should be no exception. In the past a bathroom

was generally regarded as a functional, almost utilitarian space, but today it has been elevated to more of a relaxation room, a

haven of tranquility or even a complete wellness center. Nowadays this transformation can be all-encompassing with so many

possibilities in style, furnishings, decoration and finish. Careful lighting design and choice of fittings should also be a part of the

transformation.

Bathroom atmosphere

As in any other space, bathroom lighting should be attuned to the chosen fittings in the room. Always try to emphasize the atmosphere

of the bathroom with careful lighting, creating effects and atmosphere with the use of shadows.

Choose your lighting fixtures as a function of the lines of the architecture and be sure to match the atmosphere of the bathroom, for

instance Brushed Aluminium for a contemporary bathroom look, or Black + Gold for a more convivial approach.

Lighting can have a positive or negative influence on the bathroom ambience. For a contemporary space the use of cold light will

give the space a sterile and hygienic appearance, whilst warm light will add a touch of tradition to a more romantic bathroom.

For extra atmosphere, working with coloured linear lighting in the neighborhood of the bath-tub, throwing coloured, or even colour-

changing light onto water can be very effective.

Lighting calculation

Many bathrooms enjoy little or no natural light, making the careful choice of artificial lighting even more necessary. A bathroom

will have several different functions: In the morning we wake and generally want to enjoy a fresh stimulating shower – for this, the

lighting should also be stimulating and refreshing. After a hard day, a relaxing bath may be your preference, when equally soft and

relaxing lighting is more appropriate. Even the simplest of “scene setting” should be considered with thoughtful lighting design at

the planning stage. Several different light sources with divided circuit zones do not have to be complex but can make the difference

between a functional and a stunning ambience. Project 2

Illumination according to function

In a bathroom we can distinguish different lighting requirements by their function. At the mirror and the washbowl, task illumination

should be provided and should be suitable for shaving or perhaps applying make-up. We can combine this task lighting with indirect

accent lighting to give the space a warmer feel.

When considering a design, start with general lighting and then combine this with the more specific and separately controlled

requirements of the different functions. For general lighting, particularly in the smaller space, a central light point can be used, but

it is often better, particularly in the larger room to work with indirect lighting to provide the general light level.

FREQUENTLY MADE MISTAKES:

Types of lighting

A well illuminated bathroom uses a blend of different types of illumination. Each type has a specific characteristic and function, and

generally will not provide a good scheme in isolation.

BASIC LIGHTING

This illumination lays the foundation for the lighting scheme, providing sufficient general light throughout the room. The most

important characteristic of this part of the design is the uniform distribution of light and a minimum of shadow formation. For this

the ideal choice is some form of diffused lighting and preferably indirect. Care should be taken to ensure this basic illumination is

sufficient for safety. Most accidents in the home occur in the bathroom, where slipping on wet surfaces is a major cause of injury.

TASK LIGHTING

As the name suggests, task lighting is provided for a specific

task, such as shaving or applying make-up. Good task lighting

should be directed towards the subject, but in such a way that

shadows and reflections are avoided. Classic mirror lighting

for example provides light from above and from both sides,

but is not directional.

ACCENT LIGHTING

Accent lighting is characterised by the use of a defined beam

of light to accentuate an object. The width or concentration of

the beam is defined by the choice of reflector in the lighting

fixture and can be selected to illuminate a specific object

from a certain distance and angle. The light is usually strong

enough to “cut through” the basic lighting, creating strong

contrast and shadowing. An accented object will thus be

instantly noticed, with strong shadows. A good balance is of

course also very important and the designer should not make

the mistake of using too much accent lighting.

ORIENTATION LIGHTING

Orientation lighting gives direction or guides and can be

achieved using very low levels of illumination and minimal

energy consumption, such as provided by LED sources.

This type of illumination is most widely used as a nightlight

alternative to the main lighting, but can also be used to the

accentuate architecture of the space. With modern technology,

a coloured LED source can be used, Amber or Blue having been

proven to be the least likely to interfere with sleep patterns.

ATMOSPHERIC LIGHTING

Use an indirect and/or coloured light source to create

atmosphere. Relaxing in the bath does not require high levels

of illumination so consider also a dimmer to set the mood.

This can then be used as a function of the general lighting,

which can be lifted by the dimmer control when required. A

great idea is to position lighting into a recess near to the bath,

or even under the bath where it can create the illusion of a

floating bath.

Different kinds of lighting

DIFFUSED LIGHT

Light which is emitted or projected in a wide spread. This can be achieved by using diffusers or

lenses to scatter the light emitted by a source. A fluorescent lamp by design is a useful diffused

source, or we can use other light sources with polycarbonate or glass screens to provide

diffusion. The sun is a naturally diffused light source, using the atmosphere to scatter its rays.

Properties of diffused light

•Uniformlightdispersion

•Detailsarelessdefined

•Frequentlyusedasbasiclighting

•Nostrongshadows

DIRECT LIGHT

Light which is concentrated, guided or projected in a specific direction. Usually achieved by

positioning a light source within an optically optimized reflector system to collect and distribute

a defined light pattern. In a well-designed luminaire, maximum use is made of the available

light, thus optimizing the power of the source. A well designed and accurately placed optic will

also minimize discomfort glare caused by such a directional source.

Properties

• Detailsaregenerallymadeclear.

• Canbeusedtocreateatmosphere

•Definedshadows

• Accentuatingofobjectsandzones

• Canbeusedforefficienttasklighting

INDIRECT LIGHT

Light which reaches the required plane having been first reflected off another surface such

as a wall or a ceiling. Losses in the process of reflection generally mean that greater power

is required to reach an acceptable lighting result and, for optimum results, reflective surfaces

should be finished in a light or pastel colour.

Lighting fixtures

CEILING MOUNTED LIGHTING FIxTURES

Ceiling mounted lighting

fixtures are installed directly

on the ceiling and can be used

to provide directional and/or

general light. These fixtures

are usually self- contained

and include any required

transformer or control gear as

an integral component, because of this you can connect them

directly to a 230V supply, but they are sometimes a little bulky.

Always check that the ceiling is high enough to accommodate

the luminaire without causing an obstruction. A mistake is

often made by installing just one lighting fixture in the centre

of the room, with enough power to illuminate the entire space.

This results in a concentration of light and a bland appearance

with no atmosphere. It is much better to use several fittings of

lower power, strategically placed around the room.

Note: If you can touch the lighting fixture with an extended

arm when installed above an open area of the floor (not

above furniture, a bath or a table) persons will automatically

be inclined to bend their head.

SUSPENDED LIGHTING FIxTURES

Suspended Lighting Fixtures

have an important decorative

function and are always an eye

catcher. These lighting fixtures

augment an interior with light

and shape!

This type of fixture is not

generally suitable for use in

a bathroom due to the constraints of regulations, but can

provide a special touch. The bathroom must be large enough

and high enough and the fitting of a suitable type for use

within a bathroom.

Page 15: Talzine on Bathroom Lighting

2011

WALL LIGHTING FIxTURES

Fixtures are available to mount

on or in a wall and can provide

direct or indirect light. Surface

mounted indirect lighting

fixtures can create a very

beautiful effect with defined

beams of light projecting

up, down or up and down,

accentuating the architecture of the wall. This is a subtle

way to add weight to a room and to create a feeling of space.

Recessed wall fittings are frequently used in a bathroom with

a low ceiling or as basic lighting in a small WC.

DOWN-LIGHTS

Down-lights are very popular

for creating atmosphere and

for basic lighting, as well as for

accent lighting. Recessed and

with minimal trim, these fixtures

can provide a very discreet way

to illuminate a space. They are

available in various finishes,

shapes and colours, with trim for quick installation or without

trim for a seamless finish.

Sometimes restrictions in available ceiling recess space can

make down-lights unsuitable, but in any case, they should be

used only as part of a lighting scheme. Pure downlighting will

generally create a “tunnel effect” with strong shadows, a dark

ceiling and partly illuminated walls. Due to these effects, some

tasks mentioned earlier will be next to impossible without a

supplementary lighting source e.g. The make-up mirror!

Note: Never install spotlights directly above a bath as to

avoid an uncomfortable glare.

LINEAR LIGHTING FIxTURES

With luminares based on

modern LED or Linear

Fluorescent sources we can

create extremely narrow lines of

light. Built into and hidden in a

recess at the junction of ceiling

and wall or between walls, the

result is a subtle clean light,

which skims the wall or the ceiling. Linear lighting fixtures

are also used to accentuate some shapes in the architectural

environment, or to define a zone with light.

Because this type of light-line can be tailor made, they are

suitable for any space or purpose.

Note: Linear lighting fixtures can be tailor made, so they are

suitable for any space or purpose. In the case of a mirror,

LED or fluorescent linear lighting fixtures can be tailor made

to fit.

FLOOR SPOTS

Floor spots are built into a floor,

projecting an upward beam and

can be located to create very

atmospheric light patterns on

a wall. With many beam angles

and colour options, up-lighting

can be used for discrete but

creative atmospheric lighting,

or simple orientation lighting. With LED technology this form

of lighting is now also well suited for bathrooms due to their

generic ingress protection (IP rating) and the general cool-

running of the light source. Before the introduction of LED, it

would have been considered dangerous to fit floor spots.

The use of floor spots creates a mysterious, cinematic

atmosphere in the bathroom and they are most often used in

bigger spaces.

General Lighting

A glaring central light point in the bathroom is a shock to the system when you just wake up. It also creates a very flat appearance

and deep shadows. Consider working with indirect lighting for the general lighting level. If the bathroom is big enough opt to use

some wall lighting fixtures to project some light onto the ceiling.

Another option is to work with trimless built-in lighting fixtures which provide soft and diffused light whilst blending perfectly into

the fabric of the space. If you have to fit down-lights above a bath, use fixtures with a diffuse glass to minimize glare. Down-lights

work well for a shower cubicle or for other small spaces where glare is not an issue. If possible it is often better to use several spots

with less power; 3 spots of 20 Watt create a better atmosphere than 1 spot of 50 Watt. For supplementary lighting, a wall can be

illuminated by means of skimming with linear lighting or a number of directional spotlights. Alternatively, a theatrical effect can be

created by using floorspots.

Lighting on the mirror/ wash-hand basin

Illumination for a mirror must be clear enough for shaving or for make-up apllication, but soft enough to follow the contours of the

face. Ideally, use lighting fixtures on both sides of the mirror to illuminate the face and not the mirror. These lighting fixtures should

be installed at eye-level to be most effective.

It is a big mistake to use directional spotlights close to the mirror, as this will create strong shadows on the face. Sometimes it is

impractical, impossible or unaesthetic to install lighting fixtures beside the mirror, and in this case we have no other choice but to

install the fixture above the mirror. To minimize shadows from such a single source, be sure to use a linear source, which will evenly

spread the light across the face.

Illumination in the shower

In a shower stall we always advise providing a good level of light. As a preference, use directional spotlighting with a diffuser, which

will illuminate the entire shower stall without any glare. (minimum IP 44).

Fittings can be chosen with a finish to match (e.gchrome) taps and accessories for a completely coherent look and feel.

In the case of bigger shower spaces, such as a walk-in shower, we can also incorporate built-in wall lighting which will softly

illuminate the shower area via an asymmetric reflector (minimum IP65).

Technical Lighting

COLOUR TEMPERATURE

Light is perception, and one of the most important factors is the colour of the light. Naturally we consider light as being white, but

white light can vary considerably across a wide spectrum range. White light can have anything from a red tint, through yellow, to

a blue hue. This tint or “colour temperature” is very important for our perception. Red tints tend to be associated with warmth and

conviviality, whilst the blue end of the spectrum is considered more cold and clinical. The difference between these tints is expressed

by a value of colour temperature between low frequency Infra-red and high frequency Ultra-Violet (expressed in °KELVIN)

LED’s, energy saving lamps and halogen sources have colour temperatures ranging between 2700°K and 4000°K.

Thus the higher the colour temperature, the colder the light.

Warm white: less than 3000 K

Neutral white: 3300 K – 5300 K

Cool white: from 5300 K and more

For a bathroom with warm colours and materials such as wood, always use a light source with a warm colour temperature, which

will tend to enhance the atmosphere and ambience of the space. The use of golden reflectors can also help to reduce the colour

temperature of the light source, creating an even warmer and cozier atmosphere.

Cold light can be used when in combination with cold materials such as corian or chrome, and when we want to emphasise an

hygienic environment.

Because our eyes are more sensitive to cold light it will always tend to give the impression that there is more light, allowing the use

of less power when compared to warm light. Combinations can also be used in order to obtain specific effects or to accentuate a

certain kind of material.

COLOUR RENDERING

Not all artificial light sources reproduce colours in the same way when compared with observation during daytime (sunlight). Under

sunlight we see what we consider to be the true colour of an object. We use this as a “control” and have developed a scale or “colour

rendering-index” to express how we recognize or distinguish the colours under different kinds of artificial light. The range of the

colour rendering-index is measured between 0 and 100, where 100 is considered equal to sunlight. A high value of more than 80

suggests that all colours are reproduced very well, whereas a low value of less than 50, points to the fact that colour recognition

is difficult or even impossible. For task lighting in a bathroom, always use a source with a colour rendering-index higher than 80.

Around of the mirror, use a lamp with a colour rendering-index of more than 90.

Safety in Lighting*

Electricity and water are no friends. Because of this electrical safety is very important in a bathroom. First of all we have to look at

the zone where the lighting fixtures are to be installed. In a bathroom there are 4 defined zones, and depending on the percentage

moisture in the zones: Zone 0 means completely wet, where the most stringent requirements are applied through to Zone 3, the dry

zone, where there are no special requirements. All electrical circuits within a bathroom, including lighting points must be provided

with RCD protection with a sensitivity of 30mA or less.

IP ZONING – ZONE 0

Inside the bath or shower. Any fittings used here must be

SELV (max. 12V) and have a minimum rating of IPX7 (protected

against immersion in water). If there’s the likelihood of water

jets being used for cleaning purposes, a minimum of IPX5 is

required for the light fittings or electrical devices.

IP ZONING – ZONE 1

Above the bath or shower to a height of 2.25m. A minimum

rating of IPX4 is required. If there’s the likelihood of water

jets being used for cleaning purposes, a minimum of IPX5 is

required for the light fittings or electrical devices.

(*)Safetypointsarebasedonthe17theditionoftheIEEwiringregulations.

IP ZONING – ZONE 2

This is the area stretching to 0.6m outside the bath or shower

and above the bath or shower if over 2.25m. An IP rating of at

least IPX4 is required. The same as in zone 1 – If there’s the

likelihood of water jets being used for cleaning purposes, a

minimum of IPX5 is required for the light fittings or electrical

devices.

IP ZONING – ANYWHERE OUTSIDE ZONES 0, 1, AND 2

this is where water jets are not to be used for cleaning

purposes, the general rules of BS7671 apply. IP not essential

– IP rating is not required.

ZONE 0

ZONE3

In zones 1 and 2, SELV or 240V luminaires may be used(remember to respect the IP rating required). As for the final circuits, they all

require 30mA RCD protection. Please Note: The above information is intended as a guide only – if you want to find out more detailed

information on the IP rating and the IP Zoning in the Bathrooms, please refer to the IEE Wiring Regulations(BS 7671:2001 section

601).

Remark: For lighting fixtures installed above a shower, and which are within zone 3, it is advisable to use a lighting fixture with IP-rating of minimum 44 because of the service life of the fixture and the lamp. These lighting fixtures are better suited to operating in moist conditions.

28

Page 29: Talzine on Bathroom Lighting

IP VALUES

The ingress protection (IP rating) of a lighting fixture is determined by an international standard IEC 6052900. This standard records

the IP rating according to the following requirements. It registers the level of protection against penetration of solid objects and

moisture. The first figure registers the protection against penetration of solid objects. The second figure registers the protection

against penetration of moisture.

Protection against water (2nd IP figure)

IP X0 – not protected

IP X1 – protected against dripping water

IP X2 - protected against dripping water by a 15 ° slanting angle

IP X3 – protected against sprinkling water by a 60 ° slanting angle

IP X4 – protected against splashing water from each angle

IP X5 – protected against jets of water

IP X6 – protected against heavy shower

IP X7 – protected against submersion

IP X8 – protected against a permanent stay under water

Protection against objects and dust (1st IP figure)

IP 0X – not protected

IP 1X – protected against objects with a diameter > 50 mm

IP 2X – protected against objects with a diameter > 12 mm

IP 3X – protected against objects with a diameter > 2,5 mm

IP 4X – protected against objects with a diameter > 1 mm

IP 5X – protected against dust

IP 6X – dust-proof
