The bathroom is one of the most-used rooms in any home — and when it comes to lighting, it deserves more than a single downlight in the ceiling. The right bathroom lighting can completely change how the space feels and functions. From foggy morning mirror routines to relaxing evening soaks in the tub, lighting plays a key role in safety, comfort, and style.
At P Herman and Co, we’ve been lighting up Perth bathrooms for over 35 years. Whether you’re renovating, building from scratch, or just looking to improve your current setup, we can help design and install a solution that works for your space, budget, and day-to-day needs.
What Type of Lighting Is Best for a Bathroom?
Great bathroom lighting is about more than brightness — it’s about layering light so your space is both functional and relaxing.
The Three Main Types of Bathroom Lighting
We recommend combining:
- Ambient lighting to brighten the whole room
- Task lighting for grooming, shaving or makeup at the mirror
- Accent lighting to highlight design features like niches or baths
Downlights are popular for general lighting, but placement matters — especially to avoid casting shadows over the vanity. Mirror-mounted lights or side sconces can help with flattering, even illumination. Accent lighting like LED strips or under-vanity lights can also add visual appeal and comfort.
Are LED Ceiling Lights OK for a Bathroom?
Absolutely — LED ceiling lights are not only suitable, they’re one of the best choices for bathrooms.
They’re energy-efficient, long-lasting, and available in moisture-resistant designs for safe use in wet areas. If your bathroom still has older halogen fittings, upgrading to LED will give you better light quality, lower energy costs, and improved safety.
Choosing the Right IP Rating
Bathrooms are divided into safety zones, and each requires specific Ingress Protection (IP) ratings depending on exposure to moisture. As licensed Perth electricians, we’ll ensure your fittings are correctly rated and compliant with Australian Standards — so your bathroom is safe, legal, and built to last.
What’s the General Rule for Lighting in a Bathroom?
While every bathroom is different, there are a few tried-and-true guidelines that help us design practical, comfortable lighting.
Practical Tips for Bathroom Lighting Design
- Use even ambient lighting to avoid dark zones or harsh shadows
- Add task lighting close to face level at the mirror for clarity
- Use IP-rated lights in wet zones like above the bath or inside showers
- Consider dimmable switches to adjust light levels for different times of day
We’ll work with your layout and needs to create a lighting plan that’s both practical and visually appealing.
Should You Have Warm or Cool Light in the Bathroom?
Lighting colour temperature affects both the look of your space and how it feels to use. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer — but there are a few guidelines that can help you decide.
Warm Light vs Cool Light
- Warm white (2700K–3000K): Soft and relaxing — ideal for winding down in the bath
- Cool white (4000K–5000K): Crisp and clean — great for morning routines and tasks like makeup or shaving
Many homeowners mix both: warm light in the main space and cool light near the mirror. We can show you lighting samples and help you choose what works best for your routine and bathroom design.
