One of the more specific locations in each home is the bathroom. In this article we will examine the requirements for lighting fixtures for bathroom and how to define themselves what, where and how we can use. In this room are combined mandatory sanitary accessories, and the possibility of adding his own style and uniqueness, and why not – even luxury. It is good, the colors in the bathroom which is equipped to continue their line and decorative coating of the lamp. The most commonly used coatings are chrome and stainless steel / Satie, because their natural protection from corrosion, but are not exclusive and plated or brass items. Advantage of the chrome mirror elements shine when it’s intended effect. In combination with the crystal sense of refined luxury is quite achievable. In the glass elements are used opal / white or frosted glass, and sometimes a combination of both. When lighting is built into a mirror – so-called illuminated mirrors – is necessary to provide outlets for powering the lights behind the mirror itself. Improvisation are fully resolved as long as they comply with certain basic safety requirements. Their choice of lighting in bathroom is their protection from water, condensation and any other intrusion into the body where the lamps themselves and conductive parts. For convenience of consumers and producers of lighting standard is established whereby each lamp is marked with two IP numbers – or so-called class of protection.
Check the table with the names of the indexes and their explanation. To avoid tiring consumers with unnecessary technical details, using a hypothetical scheme of a room – bathroom. That sketch is divided into zones, according to the locations of lighting fixtures and protect them from direct contact with water. Depicted are the recommended dimensions of the zones designated by numbers 1, 2 and 3. As can be seen – the highest requirement for zone 1, due to proximity to running water and the danger of direct contact with the lamps. Requiring a minimum standard IP65. In zone 2 the minimum of protection IP44, are most lighting fixtures for bathroom and wet rooms. In zone 3, the requirements are minimal, IP20, this is the area above or beside the mirror where it is located over the sink and there is no danger of spraying water on the lights. Given these conditions for deployment of lighting fixtures in the bathroom and their protection can create an individual style to any bathroom lighting. In recent years the popularity has gained another option for solving the lighting in the bathroom – through the suspended ceiling and spot lighting incorporation or so-called “freckles”. Despite the fact that such lighting can be built through the lamps on mains voltage 220V, it is strongly recommended to choose a variant of a 12V transformer to avoid any possibility of electric shock defeat. Investment except in security will be in the reliability and long service life due to adjusting factors of tension, which will be delivered by the transformer. The prices of these devices are almost symbolic. Halogen bulbs have a power of 20W to 50W and lighting powerful enough, as the sum of their power must be equal to or less than that of the selected transformer. The exhibition center offers SIRIUS is a large selection of moon crystals and those with protection IP44. One disadvantage is that because of the suspended ceiling will have to lower the height of the room by 6.8 cm on the other hand, can realize a general illumination even with a very modern and entering anywhere – LED / LED /.
