Bathroom Lighting

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Lighting

What IP rating do I need for bathroom lighting in South Africa?

It depends on the zone. Fittings within 60cm of a bath or shower need at least IP44, and anything inside the shower itself needs IP65. Every bathroom listing on Lighting.co.za states the IP rating clearly.

Can I install a wall light directly above my bathroom mirror?

Yes, provided the fitting has an appropriate IP rating for the zone. Wall lights either side of the mirror at eye level generally give more even, flattering task light than a single fitting above.

Are LED bathroom mirrors from Lighting.co.za backlit or front-lit?

Both styles are available in this collection. Backlit mirrors give a soft ambient glow around the edge, while front-lit demister mirrors provide brighter, more direct task lighting for grooming.

Do bathroom lights need a separate demister function?

No, it's optional. Demister pads prevent mirror fogging after a shower and are a helpful add-on, but not required for the light itself to function.

What colour temperature suits a bathroom?

A neutral-to-cool white (4000K-5000K) is best for grooming tasks like shaving or makeup, while a warmer 3000K works better if the bathroom doubles as a relaxing retreat space.

Can I dim bathroom lighting bought from Lighting.co.za?

It depends on the fitting. If it takes a replaceable bulb, fit a dimmable bulb with a compatible dimmer switch. If it's an integrated LED fitting, check the product description on Lighting.co.za to confirm it has a dimmable driver, as not all integrated LED fittings support dimming.

Do you offer made-to-order bathroom lighting?

A small number of pieces in this collection are made-to-order, with the lead time flagged clearly on the product page at Lighting.co.za.

Is nationwide delivery available for bathroom lighting and mirrors?

Yes, we deliver bathroom lighting and mirrors nationwide across South Africa from Lighting.co.za.
