LED Lighting Tips and Techniques

1 LED Lighting Tips and Techniques

There are tools so that, for example, illuminating small bathrooms is not qualitatively more complex than a larger one. While it is true that in these cases more relevant decisions must be made (giving up the bathtub, suspending furniture in the air, etc.) is also the fact that LED lighting opens a wide range of options to facilitate the work .

2 Small bathroom decoration: Simple mission?

As far as lighting is concerned, when determining the most appropriate for a small bathroom, the following must be taken into account:

- A main light point is a priority (as in almost any room in the house), especially for the moments when a specific task is not being executed.

- Light points accessories They are relevant in a bathroom for their reason. If the space is reduced, the logic of the lighting dictates them in the mirrors (as can be seen later) for the moments of cleanliness or execution of more concrete daily tasks.

When the central issue is the decoration of small bathrooms, not only bulbs They also come into play, also some more specific "tricks" whose objective is specifically playing visually with the available space. The list of tricks broad, but the most common goes through the use of horizontal lines or light colors, which always give appearance of greater amplitude. Even using mirrors that reach the ground, place them in front of a window or other purer decoration tricks such as suspending furniture and/or embeding all possible elements, such as taps.

3 Embedded LEDs, just one more option for bathroom

In principle, standard recommendations for a bathroom talk about using neutral light. And it is because as in other parts of the house, such as the dressing A bulb are the same as they are received once on the street. However, decoration experts insist that it is also possible to combine cold light with somewhat warmer touches. In fact, a bathroom lends itself especially to this, since there are areas that will always require more light than others. For example, in the shower area (provided that the dimensions allow it) less cold lights can be used to give more visual comfort. As for the pure choice, a recommended option for small bathrooms are the embedded lights. It seems logical taking into account other decisions that have already been made (suspended furniture, etc.); the Downlight Led focuses They are erected as the main proposal, not forgetting more avant -garde alternatives such as luminaries embedded in the soil. For the selection of a main light point, the LED Blaims Surface normally wins the battle, especially since it is not necessary to open holes on the roof. In addition, thanks to its light opening angle (180 degrees, they even) get that only with the installation of a unit the entire bath can be illuminated without generating the dreaded shadows. It would be an effect very similar to that which is sought in a clothing tester.

4 Lighting in the bathroom mirror, a critical point

The aforementioned "feared shadows" are a problem rather from the mirror area. While you can give up a bathtub, it does not seem possible to articulate a bathroom, however small, without the presence of a mirror. In the case of these specific bathrooms, built -in LED mirrors have stood out as an effective solution. They provide precise and necessary lighting for daily cleaning tasks, and even many models help in the tasks of optimizing space thanks to their wide storage space. An important fact that should not be forgotten: any of the LED luminaires chosen for the bathrooms must have a high protection index against moisture. That is, to successfully complete the task of illuminating it, IP44 or IP65 lamps must be chosen, especially in those that are closest to the sink or shower.
