Bathroom wall lights: elevate your space with style and safety

June 2, 2025

Welcome to The Wall Lighting Company Ltd, where we believe that every room, including your bathroom, deserves exceptional lighting. For over 10 years, we've been dedicated to providing high-quality, decorative lighting solutions, and our extensive range of bathroom wall lights is no exception. We understand that lighting in a bathroom isn't just about illumination; it's about creating an atmosphere, ensuring safety, and enhancing your daily routines. From shaving and applying makeup to unwinding in a relaxing bath, the right lighting makes all the difference.

Our commitment to quality craftsmanship, ethical practices, and environmental responsibility means you're not just buying a light fixture; you're investing in a piece designed to last and perform beautifully. Based in Cranbrook, Kent, we carefully curate our collection, including our exclusive British-made Cranbrook Collection, to bring you the finest options for your home.

Why choose dedicated bathroom wall lights?

Bathrooms are unique environments, characterised by humidity and water. This is why standard light fixtures are simply not suitable. Dedicated bathroom wall lights are specifically designed with IP (Ingress Protection) ratings, which indicate their resistance to moisture and dust. Ensuring the correct IP rating for your bathroom's specific zones is paramount for safety and compliance with electrical regulations. Here at The Wall Lighting Company, we offer a wide array of IP44 and IP54 rated options, perfect for various bathroom zones, giving you peace of mind alongside stunning design.

Beyond safety, the right wall light can transform the functionality and aesthetic of your bathroom. They can provide essential task lighting, create ambient mood lighting, or act as decorative accents that complement your interior design. Our selection ranges from sleek modern styles to timeless vintage-inspired designs, ensuring there's a perfect match for every taste and bathroom décor.

Understanding IP ratings for bathroom wall lights

When selecting your bathroom wall lights, understanding IP ratings is crucial. The IP rating system classifies and rates the degree of protection provided by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures against intrusion, dust, accidental contact, and water. For bathrooms, specific zones dictate the minimum IP rating required for lighting fixtures.

  • IP44: Protected against solid objects larger than 1mm and splashing water from any direction. Suitable for Zone 2 and outside zones. Many of our bathroom wall lights carry this rating.

  • IP54: Protected against dust entry sufficient to prevent interference with the satisfactory operation of the equipment and splashing water from any direction. Also suitable for Zone 2 and outside zones, offering a slightly higher level of dust protection.

We ensure that all our bathroom lighting clearly states its IP rating, so you can make an informed and safe choice for your home. If you have any questions about which IP rating is right for your bathroom zone, our expert team is always on hand to provide advice. You can reach us on 01580 712805 or via WhatsApp on 07512 698968.

Energy-efficient LED bathroom lighting

In line with our commitment to environmental responsibility, many of our bathroom wall lights are compatible with energy-efficient LED bulbs.

Tips for choosing the perfect bathroom wall lights

Selecting the ideal bathroom wall lights involves considering several factors beyond just aesthetics. Here are some expert tips from The Wall Lighting Company:

  1. Assess your bathroom zones: As discussed, safety is paramount. Determine the IP rating required for the specific area where you intend to install your wall lights.

  2. Consider the primary function: Do you need task lighting for grooming (e.g., above a mirror), ambient lighting for relaxation, or a combination?

  3. Think about diffusion: Frosted or ribbed glass shades can provide a softer, more diffused light, reducing glare and creating a calming atmosphere. Clear glass offers brighter, more direct illumination.

  4. Match your décor: Choose finishes and styles that complement your bathroom's existing fixtures, tiles, and colour scheme.

  5. Plan your layout: For optimal illumination, consider placing wall lights at eye level on either side of a mirror to minimise shadows.

Frequently asked questions about bathroom wall lights

What IP rating do I need for bathroom wall lights?

For most areas around a basin, mirror, or toilet (Zone 2), an IP44 rating is typically sufficient for bathroom wall lights. For areas further away from water sources (Outside Zones), an IP20 rating or higher is acceptable, though an IP44 rating provides extra protection. Always consult a qualified electrician for specific installation advice and to ensure compliance with local regulations.

Can I use any wall light in a bathroom?

No, you cannot use any wall light in a bathroom. Due to the presence of water and humidity, bathroom lighting requires specific IP (Ingress Protection) ratings to ensure safety and prevent electrical hazards. Only use wall lights explicitly designed and rated for bathroom environments, such as those with IP44 or IP54 ratings, depending on their placement within the bathroom zones.

What are the benefits of LED bathroom wall lights?

LED bathroom wall lights offer numerous benefits, including significantly lower energy consumption, which reduces electricity bills, and a much longer lifespan compared to traditional bulbs, meaning fewer replacements. They also produce less heat, contribute to our environmental responsibility, and provide instant, full brightness, making them ideal for task lighting in bathrooms.

How do I choose the right style of bathroom wall lights?

To choose the right style of bathroom wall lights, consider your bathroom's existing décor and colour scheme. Decide if you want a modern, vintage, or classic look. Think about the finish (e.g., chrome, brass, frosted glass) that will complement your taps and other fixtures. The Wall Lighting Company offers a wide range of styles to ensure you find a perfect match.

Where is the best place to install bathroom wall lights?

For optimal illumination and to minimise shadows, the best place to install bathroom wall lights is often on either side of a mirror at approximately eye level. This provides even, flattering light for grooming tasks. Alternatively, they can be placed to highlight architectural features or create ambient lighting in specific areas of the bathroom.

Do you offer a warranty on your bathroom wall lights?

Yes, we offer product warranties on our lighting solutions. Specifically, items from our exclusive British-made Cranbrook Collection come with a generous 5-year warranty, reflecting our confidence in their quality and durability, including the Cranbrook Collection IP44 Bathroom Wall Light Fitting suitable for bathrooms.
