LED lighting is becoming increasingly popular for domestic use. LED or light-emitting diode technology works on electroluminescent principles. When the diode is switched on, it allows the electric current to flow in a single direction. The electrons then recombine with holes left behind and release photons which create the light. LED has advantages over incandescent light where it consumes less energy and lasts much longer, is generally smaller in size than most light fittings, is harder wearing and more reliable, so is suited for damper environments like bathrooms. They can also be used as night security lighting and for garden decoration where they often have battery powered auto sensors which turn the lights on when dark.

Although still regarded as a bit of a novelty, using LED lights saves money in the long run. Although more expensive to buy, they are becoming cheaper all the time. Where a regular incandescent bulb lasts approximately 1000 hours, its LED equivalent will last for 50,000 hours so 50 times as long. In a space like a bathroom where hours of usage is low, a LED bathroom light will last years. When choosing LED lights for your bathroom, factors such as luminosity, the use of warm or cool colours and beam angles become considerations. The use of beam angle and colour can enhance or reduce perceptions of light to produce the overall desired effect. Mirror lighting for example could be narrow beam, crisp and white where 120 degree angling will diffuse light to give a softer effect.

Accent lighting on floors, walls and ceilings will also reflect and diffuse light and depending on where the light is focused will determine the harshness or softness of the light. A good range of LED bathroom lighting is now available and can be used to good effect to complement modern bathroom suites.For a range of luxury to affordable bathroom suites online, check out the extensive choice on our website.
