Decent Bathroom Light ? Any Suggestions

[Theorysparky]

I was asked to put some downlights in a bathroom last week but its a top floor flat and the joists go everywhere and am unable to get a good spread

So i need a good IP rated ceiling fittint that will give out a decent amount of light

there is no window and the bathroom is 2.5m x 1.5m

any ideas/suggestions please

Old fashioned I know, but globe lights are still my favourite http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/FL1090.html

They give a good all round light, what's not to like about them (other than they have not been made "trendy" by the likes of Sarah Beeny)

i think you are right there Dave

best output of light but not the prettiest.........rented property so it will be ok

as for the round bulkhead they are ok but ugly !!!

I have used fern howard  fittings in bathrooms the ice breaker are IP44 so not suitable for all zones. They are a bit prettier than standard bulkheads.

I used a Wickes globe light the the other day as the nearest I could get for a like for like - an old RING one similar to that TLC one that crumbled (the white bezel) as I took it apart to inspect. Wickes was just round the corner was a big factor - pleasantly surprised by the result. Again, only IP44 but plenty of room above for connections:

With this lamp:

Globe light looks Ok, but depending on lamp fitted does not bode well with cables going crisp and brittle.

What about this aurora light from our forum sponsor  http://www.ukelectricalsupplies.com/Aurora-Lighting.htm

Its supposed to be chrome although the picture is the white coloured fitting.

We have a similar fitting in our adapted bathroom at home which used to be the garage, hence the room dimensions are near enough to yours and again there is no window.

Its a thorn fitting (not sure of model no but can have a look if you want) and gives out plenty of light,

thats similar to what I normally use,

I fit these a lot, both 16 & 28 versions, look good IMO

thats not where I get them BTW, was just the first link I found.
