ᐅ Layout of Recessed Spotlights in the Bathroom

Created on: 16 Dec 2019 22:03

The appointment with the electrician is scheduled for next Wednesday.

For the bathroom, I am considering recessed spotlights. What would be a practical arrangement? Directly above the sink, or set back a bit? And centered in the shower?

I have attached a bathroom plan.

The shower will have a glass wall on the left side and also glass along the long side at the front, with a sliding door. The red line at the bottom of the plan marks the 2m (6 ft 7 in) line.

Thanks for your feedback!

Shouldn't the number of spotlights also take the tile color into account?

Our electrician recommended 9 spotlights of 5 watts each for our very dark tiles.

In terms of location, I naturally prefer red, meaning centered in the room. But green would probably illuminate the shower niche better — or is that irrelevant given the room’s shape and size, since light reflected from the walls would sufficiently reach the niche?

It also depends on the fixture. I would choose two outlets and adjust the light source accordingly.

Thanks for the feedback. The general contractor’s electrician had suggested five units, each 6 watts (looking like a 5 on a die). At first, I thought that wasn’t bad.
Yesterday, I had another appointment with a different electrician—for this or that issue—and he also said five are definitely too many. Three would be enough. I’m thinking of installing them in a row between the door and window. They would be warm white anyway.

Do you mean between the exterior wall (on the left side in the plan) and the washbasin, and then between the washbasin and the shower?

Exactly

A standard ceiling light, supplemented by a spotlight in dark corners such as an enclosed walk-in shower.

The comment about the shadow cast by the mirror was already mentioned. When positioning it, it’s helpful to align it with the window and door lines.
