How to light my bathroom.

[Screech20]

Hey guys,
I'm struggling to decide on how to position the lights in my my bathroom.

It's L shaped, with a bath with a rain shower head.

We don't really want a light over the bath ( for when she's laying back looking up)

I've got 5 LED down lights - don't have to use them all.

I'll attach a rough plan of it.
Any ideas?

cheers

You can get swivel type down lighters that willl point elsewhere than down

Try shaving in a downlight

They'll be alternative lighting for shaving

Stop being effeminate.

I assume you're all man ! Well, the bits that are left , and work, with a bit encouragement ? You clearly don't use them often ?Judging by the time you spend on here!

I should think not.

If you need 5 lights in a room that size it could only be because they aren't very good at lighting it up.

Silly me for thinking I'd get some useful advice on the placement of my lights in an awkward shaped room!

2x down lights spaced evenly, taking the line from the centre of the back wall.

50w or equivalent led wide angle 38 deg. This based on the installation of additional side lighting at bathroom mirror for an even shave.

Add a dimmer for bath time


Happy now

Candles. Much better at bath time.
Hopeless in the rain shower though.

One at the corner of the L.

 

[endecotp]

How high is the ceiling?

I'll attach a rough plan of it.

To make it less rough, do the following:

1. Camera -> Standard Views -> Top
2. Camera -> Select Parallel Projection instead of Perspective

Any ideas?

A decent-sized ceiling light in more-or-less the centre of the room.

Dimmable wall lights for when relaxation is happening.

Yes, thats what I would do, first find the centre of gravity of your ceiling and smack in the middle. just one light is enough. Pretend you haven't got a corner, but I know you have a corner and you have to lie to yourself.
