Guide - Bathroom - Lunares Blog

The bathroom is the hardest room in the house to light: little space, plenty of moisture, a low ceiling, and jobs as different as precise make-up in the morning and a relaxing bath at night. No wonder the flush-mounted bathroom ceiling light has been the most popular choice for years – it hugs the ceiling, stays out of the way of the shower, and its sealed construction copes with steam. In this guide we explain everything worth knowing before you buy: what IP44 really means and when you need IP65, where a ceiling light may sit relative to the shower and the bath, how many lumens a bathroom needs, which colour temperature won’t lie about your make-up, and how round fittings differ from square ones.

The flush ceiling light is the most discreet of ceiling lamps – and one of the most frequently chosen: it hugs the ceiling, fits everywhere, shines evenly and gets in nobody’s way. The trouble starts at the choosing stage, because one word covers lamps from 10 to 100 cm in diameter, from 600 to 6,000 lumens, with replaceable bulbs and with permanently built-in diodes, for the living room, the bathroom and outdoors. In this guide we walk through every decision in order: when a flush light instead of a chandelier, what diameter for which room, how many lumens you really need, what colour temperature and what about dimming – so you buy your ceiling light once, and well.

Pendant lights are the most visible lighting in your home – they hang at eye level and can define an entire interior. That is exactly why they deserve a conscious choice: a single pendant or a 3-light pendant, a closed shade or an exposed bulb, a plain ceiling canopy or an adjustable suspension. This guide gathers everything in one place: the types of pendant lights, proven spots around the house, installation rules (including sloped ceilings) and what sets an IP44-rated bathroom pendant light apart from a regular one.
