Why is the right lighting important in the bathroom?
Lighting in the bathroom is not only practical – it also has a big impact in creating the mood of the room and your well-being. Throughout the day you need different lighting, so it is important that you choose your lighting products carefully when planning the design of your bathroom.

Tip 1: Consider multiple light sources
One of the best ways to ensure optimal lighting in the bathroom is to use multiple light sources. By combining ceiling lights with lighting at the mirror, lighting in and around your furniture and even pendants as mood lights, you create both functionality and a pleasant atmosphere.
Many of our mirrors and mirror cabinets have built-in LED lighting which either adds ambience to the bathroom or a more precise light to highlight the details of your face for example. The Moon mirror projects the light forward so that it highlights your face, while the Corona mirror is backlit and therefore provides great mood lighting to your bathroom.
Complement your Dansani mirrors with light fittings and extra lighting under the vanity unit to get just the right feeling for your bathroom.
Tip 2: Choose lighting with the correct colour temperature
The light colour has quite a big impact on how your bathroom feels. To create natural and pleasant lighting it is recommended to choose a colour temperature between 3000K and 4000K. This gives a bright but not too cold light.
Our lights have both colour and dimming control so you can choose exactly the right lighting to best suit your bathroom. You can also connect your mirror, your pendant lights and your ceiling lights so that the lighting is uniform and consistent across all of your bathroom products.
However, remember that our wireless lighting system can only be controlled with a Dansani mirror or mirror cabinet, otherwise you will not be able to dim and / or adjust the colour of the various light fittings.
Tip 3: Ensure energy-friendly lighting
Choosing energy-efficient lighting for your bathroom is both practical and economical. LED lights are the ideal solution as they use much less energy than traditional light sources while also lasting longer.
All of our lights are LED and are therefore designed to be both energy-efficient and stylish. In addition you should ensure that the lighting you choose is approved for use in the bathroom as it must be able to withstand moisture during normal use.
All Dansani light fittings are IP44 approved for use in bathrooms – therefore you can safely choose Dansani products when looking at bathroom lighting.
Mistakes to avoid when choosing bathroom lighting
A common mistake is to choose not enough lighting in the areas where precision work is needed – such as at the mirror. Not enough light can make it difficult to see correctly which can affect your daily care routine. Conversely too much bright light can create an unpleasant feeling.
Another mistake is choosing lighting with a low IP value for use in areas with high humidity. It is important to choose products with the correct IP value such as Dansani's IP44-rated lighting.
How to combine functionality and aesthetics in bathroom lighting
Lighting in the bathroom should be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Dansani offers a wide range of lighting solutions that combine technology with a modern design. For example, you can choose mirrors with built-in lighting which provide both good lighting and add a stylish touch to the room.
By choosing lights and mirror solutions that match the bathroom décor you can create a well balanced and practical space.
