Bathroom Lighting Plan Thoughts?

10 years ago

Work in Progress · More Info

I'm curious about feedback for my bathroom lighting plan? This plan shows main and vanity lighting, both on separate switches. The ceiling in this room is 8', the two long walls will be polished travertine and others will be white. Main lights are the red circles and are Cree/Ecosmart 4" LEDs at 575 lumens/2,700K. Spacing is roughly every 4.' The three red bars are vertical vanity lights, Lightology Twiggy S1 lens at 1,070 lumens/2,700K/92 CRI. They are spaced at the ends of the vanity and at the midpoint (3.25 ft from either end).

The room is about 11'8" from the entrance (lower left) to the opposite wall, 12.5' going left/right (the room to the right of the vanity is the closet). The shower, tub area and water closet already have their own lighting figured out and those are not shown.

Does this look like it will work out ok, or is there too much, too little or is it in the wrong places? Thanks in advance!

There is the possibility of reducing the number of cans since there is vanity lighting + other lighting

it looks okay. Are the lights all on dimmers?

Yes they are, including the bathtub and shower lighting. In other areas of the house I've paired Ecosmart recessed LEDs with Luton Maestro dimmers with great results on the recommendation of this board. Normally they aren't up quite all the way, but it comes out even and it's easier to reduce light levels with a dimmer than for it to be up all the way and still be inadequate.

EDIT: I see from Cree's spec sheet that the electronic low voltage dimmer the vanity lighting uses is compatible with our recessed lighting, so I can have it all on one switch. That's great news because the cans by the vanity were sort of a workaround.

I'm all for reducing the cans. Since everything can go on one switch maybe I can eliminate the two in the vanity area and keep the other two closer to the entrance? In our last house we normally only turned on the light over the tub or shower whenever one of them was in use.

That is sensible.

Thanks! I think this makes four rooms now where I've started with a drawing and ended up making changes based on feedback here. :)
