Frequently asked
questions
Everything you need to know about bathroom pot lights
QCan regular pot lights be used in a bathroom?
While standard pot lights can be used in dry areas of bathrooms, wet areas like showers and tubs require special moisture-resistant fixtures. We recommend using fixtures with proper IP ratings for bathroom installations to ensure safety and longevity.
QHow many pot lights do I need for my bathroom?
For a standard bathroom (5×8 feet), 4-6 recessed lights typically provide adequate illumination. As a general rule, plan for one pot light for every 25-30 square feet of bathroom space, with additional task lighting for vanity areas.
QWhat's the best placement for bathroom pot lights?
Position ceiling pot lights at least 4 feet from shower or tub areas unless using wet-rated fixtures. For vanity areas, place pot lights 30 inches from the wall to minimize shadows on faces. Shower pot lights should be centered in the shower area.
QWhat color temperature works best for bathroom lighting?
We recommend 2700K-3000K (warm white) for a relaxing spa-like atmosphere, or 3000K-3500K (neutral white) for better color rendering when applying makeup or shaving. Cooler temperatures (4000K+) are generally not recommended for bathrooms.
