Not sure how to set the perfect scene in your bathroom? Let our extensive range inspire you and discover the many possibilities for designing your personal feel-good space.

The bathroom divided into protected areas

maximise the safety and durability of your bathroom lights by choosing the right protection class. Our IP protection classes ensure that your lights are optimally protected against moisture and foreign bodies. This means you can select exactly the right protection class depending on the installation location and be sure that your lighting will always work reliably and safely. With the right protection class, you benefit from a durable installation that offers you long-term comfort and peace of mind.

• IP44: Protected against splashing water from all directions - ideal for lights near washbasins or mirrors.
• IP65: Protected against water jets - suitable for use near showers or bathtubs.
• IP67: Protection against temporary submersion - perfect for particularly damp areas, e.g. near floor inlets.
• IP68: Protected against permanent submersion - required for lamps that are completely immersed in water, e.g. in whirlpools.

The right light colour for every purpose

your bathroom according to your individual needs by choosing the right light colour. Whether warm light for relaxing moments or brighter, clear light for precise activities - you can create the desired ambience with different colour temperatures. You benefit from convenient and versatile lighting that turns your bathroom into a feel-good place and fulfils all practical requirements at the same time.

• Warm white light (2700-3000 Kelvin) is ideal for relaxing evenings in the bath.
• Neutral white light (3500-4500 Kelvin) is ideal for everyday tasks such as shaving or applying make-up.
• Daylight white light (5000-6500 Kelvin) is ideal for bathroom wall lights as it creates a bright and revitalising atmosphere, perfect for morning routines such as brushing teeth or skin care.

Brightness

For bathroom wall lights, we recommend choosing a brightness of at least 400 to 800 lumens. This will ensure that the room is sufficiently illuminated without being too bright. Good light is particularly important above the mirror or washbasin so that you can see everything clearly during your daily make-up routine or hair styling.

Placement

Transform your bathroom into an oasis of well-being with our high-quality wall lights. Position your wall lights strategically to set specific accents or create a uniform light pattern. Take a look at the various options and find the solution that suits you perfectly.

• Mirror lighting: Mount the lights to the side of the mirror to avoid shadows.
• LED mirror light: The integrated LED lights in the mirror reduce unwanted shadows and ensure a clear, well-lit mirror image. This allows you to organise your beauty routine precisely and comfortably.
• Accent lighting: Use wall lights to emphasise decorative elements such as elegant tiles or special paintings. Indirect lighting allows you to create an atmospheric light in your bathroom.
• General lighting: Position the lamp so that the entire bathroom is evenly illuminated.

Energy efficiency and sustainability

Modern LED wall lights are energy-efficient and long-lasting. They not only save electricity, but also protect the environment. LED lights have a service life of approx. 20,000 to 50,000 hours. Opt for lamps or LED light sources with a high energy efficiency class (A to G) and a long service life.

Practical functions

Wall lights in the bathroom not only provide you with light, but also practical functions that make your everyday life easier and increase comfort. The following functions make your bathroom lighting more convenient and energy-efficient:

• Integrated switch: wall lights with their own switch allow you to operate them with ease, independently of the main light switch.
• Swivelling light heads: Direct the light exactly where you need it - ideal for precise illumination at the mirror or atmospheric accents. Whether indirect light or direct lighting - decide spontaneously or according to use.
• Dimming function: Whether for morning routines or relaxing evening hours in the bath - regulate the brightness as required with dimmable wall lights.
• USB or socket integration: Some models offer practical extras such as USB ports or integrated sockets for additional devices.
• Motion sensor: Suitable for going to the bathroom at night - the light switches on automatically when you need it.

Design and style - ambience in the bathroom

The choice of design depends heavily on your interior design style. Whether modern, classic or minimalist - there is a wall light to suit every taste in the ETC Shop.

• Chrome and glass: Ideal for modern bathrooms
• Wood and warm tones: For a natural, inviting ambience
• Black or gold: A touch of elegance and luxury

Frequently asked questions

What IP protection class do I need for my bathroom wall lights?

For areas near water sources (e.g. washbasins or showers), you should choose wall lights with a protection rating of at least IP44.

How many wall lights do I need for my bathroom?

This depends on the size of your bathroom and the desired light intensity. In small bathrooms, two lights next to the mirror are often enough. Additional light sources are useful in larger rooms.

Are LED wall lights suitable for the bathroom?

Yes, wall lights with LED light sources are ideal for bathrooms. They are energy-efficient, long-lasting and do not heat up too much, which makes them safer.

Can I install wall lights myself?

If you are handy, you can install them yourself. However, we recommend hiring an electrician for connections in damp rooms.

Which light colour is best for the mirror area?

Neutral white (3500-4500 Kelvin) is best as it simulates natural light and minimises shadows.
