The bathroom is one of the rooms where proper lighting is most essential. It is a place where we do detailed tasks like shaving and applying makeup, both of which require plenty of light. In addition, good bathroom lighting is also critical to safety, particularly for older adults. After all, 80 percent of falls experienced by adults 65+ occur in the bathroom.
It is important to remember that different areas of the bathroom have different lighting requirements.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind for Better Bathroom Lighting
In addition to being more energy-efficient, LED lights are also easy to dim. When installing bathroom lighting, it’s best to over light the area by installing bright LED lights that can be dimmed to your level of preference. This is because as you get older and your eyes age, you’re going to need more light. A 60-year-old, for example, needs three times as much light as someone in their 20s in order to see as well. By using LED lights and dimmers, you won’t have to change out your bulbs or fixtures when your lighting needs change.
