ᐅ LED Spotlights in the Bathroom – Where and How Many?

Hello everyone!

I have been working on planning the LED spotlights in the bathroom of our new build for hours now. I originally thought that 5 spots would be enough, arranged symmetrically. But then the distances between some spots are quite large (140cm (55 inches) and 158cm (62 inches)). I hope you can see all the necessary information on my sketch. Sorry for the poor quality.
Do you have any ideas on how to do it better or differently? Should I just add 2 more spots?

5 are sufficient. However, I would install a mirrored cabinet with lighting (and power outlets) above the washbasin. Because you need very good lighting right in front of the washbasin.

The gaps are not too large—really not. Sufficient. Karsten

The spacing should be tight enough to avoid any dark spots on the floor. Your distances seem to be close to 2 meters (6.5 feet), I guess – remember to measure diagonally as well. Also, I think the distance from the wall is too large for the spots above the bathtub and toilet. Imagine projecting the light cone onto the wall. In general, you need to consider the beam angle of the spotlights in your planning.

Have you planned for a rain shower? Then you should account for the shadow cast by the overhead showerhead and possibly include two spotlights in the shower area.

Why does the shower need to be evenly lit without shadows? Is it an operating room?
I think that's unnecessary. The light cones don't have to overlap seamlessly either; we're talking about a bathroom here. Spotlights create accents and are not meant to be the sole source of room lighting.
I wouldn’t place one above the bathtub—who would want to lie there and look directly into a spotlight?

I believe the OP is referring to general lighting here, not "accent" lighting. Otherwise: interesting perspective. To each their own.
