Bathroom wall lights: the key to functional and stylish lighting
In bathroom design, lighting is a crucial technical factor that defines both functionality and atmosphere. A bathroom wall light is not merely a light source; it is a precision tool that must provide shadow-free, frontal illumination of the mirror area, essential for personal care tasks. Furthermore, its design, materials, and finish act as a decorative accent that complements the faucets and accessories, lending coherence and a sophisticated character to the overall design.

Expert advice for your choice
The color temperature of the light is crucial. For the mirror area, a neutral light (around 4000K) is recommended, as it best reproduces the true colors of skin and makeup. Make sure the light fixture has an Ingress Protection (IP) rating of at least IP44, which guarantees its protection against water splashes. Consider the proportions: the size of the light fixture should be consistent with the size of the mirror and sink to maintain visual balance.
