Recessed lights for bathroom

The main difference lies in the specific conditions of the environment where they are installed. In the bathroom, there are special moisture and safety considerations that need to be taken into account when choosing recessed spotlights.

Recessed bathroom spotlights are designed to be waterproof. This means that they are made to withstand humidity and splashes of water (something common in bathrooms). This is determined by the IP protection classification (index of protection) which indicates its level of resistance to water.

On the other hand, they also have particular characteristics in terms of security. For example, they may have special gaskets or seals to prevent moisture from entering electrical connections and inside the bulb.

It is recommended that recessed lights installed in the bathroom have IP44 protection or higher, as this classification indicates their resistance to water and dust. An IP44 protection rating means that the light is splash-proof from any direction, which is very important in a humid environment such as the bathroom.

This helps prevent short circuits and prolongs the life of the bulbs. In addition, choosing a recessed light with an appropriate rating ensures the safety of users by minimizing electrical risks.

Recessed bathroom ceiling lights are specifically designed to blend discreetly into the bathroom ceiling, providing good lighting without taking up visual space. These spotlights are ideal for bathrooms due to their design and resistance to moisture. Normally these spotlights have a protection rating of IP54 or higher.

We highlight that this type of recessed bathroom ceiling spotlights are made from corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum or polycarbonate, which protects them from deterioration due to moisture. At Igan Iluminación we have a wide range of brands and colors of light.
