Lighting in the Shower

10 years ago
I would like to know more about the lighting used in the shower. What kind of lighting was used to make sure it was waterproof? I want to install something of the same in my shower.

    Hello, and thank you for an excellent question! You'll notice there are two types of lighting in the shower. The first is a LED cove along the back side of the shower, and the second is two recessed lights to the left of the rain heads.

    The LED
    tape was installed in an aluminum channel with an acrylic lens from
    Luminii. The most important note is since this is a shower, it requires the wet location rated LED tape which
    is embedded in a resin silicone coating.
    The gap at the back wall of the shower is 3 inches wide because the
    electrician needs to be able to install the LED and channel 8” high into
    the light pocket. For the best aesthetic, try and make the gap as small
    as possible while keeping in mind a human hand is going to install it.
    Your electrician will be challenged if there isn't enough room to
    install the fixture.


    The two recessed lights are also rated for showers and wet locations. Try researching CSL, Halo/Cooper or Bega products. Keep in mind some of these products are LED and some are MR-16 bulbs, so be sure to match the color temperature if you are using a LED strip light in a cove and a LED recessed light. We hope this helps, and good luck with your project!
