Bathroom Lighting Guide, the Task Lights: Bathroom Wall lights

Take a leaf out of the hotel designer's style book by fitting stylish IP44-rated wall lights either side of a mirror - like the Cabaret AX0499 wall light.

Not only does this give a very sophisticated 5-star look, but it enables you to fit a mirror that has been cut to exactly the size that best fits the space. Available from budget to luxury prices, they offer a competitive alternative to the illuminated mirror option.

Top Tip: Make sure that you have no lighting directly over your head at the basin, as this will create unflattering shadows (see the g - mirror lit from above). Wall lights mounted either side of the mirror, or using an illuminated mirror will create a more even spread of light on the face (see the h below, mirror lit from two sides).
