Paulmann Tip:
Many of our mirror luminaires can be adjusted individually to point them exactly at where you want their light.

4. The perfect colour temperature for your bathroom
Paulmann Tip:
Use LED panels with a dimming function to get both colour temperatures from the same luminaire. Really practical: Products with a 3-step-dim function will help with choosing the right light colour without any need for a wall-mounted dimmer switch.
5. Smart colour changes in the bathroom


Bathroom lighting overview
The right IP protection in the bathroom is essential:
- You will need IP67-protected luminaires n the immediate vicinity of the bathtub and shower.
- IP65 will suffice around the fittings for your washbasin, bathtub and shower.
- IP44-protected bathroom luminaires will have to be installed at a distance of more than 60 cm to the bathtub/shower, or above a height of 2.25 m.
