Why is your bathroom mirror not so bright?

Many people think that it is enough to have a ceiling lamp for lighting in the bathroom? Although you are so confident, Fitled still wants to interrupt the idea. Because there is no over mirror light, your face can not be seen clearly.

Why? Due to the beam angle, if there is only one ceiling lamp in the bathroom, it is limited to evenly distribute the light in the space. When we are near the mirror, we will block some of the light, making it impossible to see the details of the face. Under such circumstances, there is no way to make up, shave and take a selfie. As a result, over mirror light plays an important role. But how to choose a good over mirror light?

1. Select parallel lines as light source for over mirror light

A point source such as a spotlight is not suitable for use as an over mirror light because the beam angle of a single spotlight is too narrow to achieve a three-dimensional illumination of the overall illumination. Therefore, it is most suitable to use a linear luminaire parallel to the mirror as over mirror light. If the conditions permit, the illumination of the over mirror light on both sides of the mirror will be better than the top. Because the light source is on both sides, it can ensure that the light is directly on the face, so that the illumination is more even and sufficient, and the shadow of the face is minimized.

2. Warm yellow light is not suitable for over mirror light

The color of the light source of the over mirror light should not be warm yellow, otherwise it will produce chromatic aberration and affect the makeup effect. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a color temperature of 4000k. This kind of light source is closer to natural light, which brings out the natural makeup surface, and can also take self-photographs easily.

3. Pay attention to moisture

The bathroom is a damp space, so pay attention to the moisture and maintenance of the over mirror light, so as not to cause rust damage or leakage short circuit after the over mirror light is used for a long time. Therefore, when choosing the over mirror light, you should choose the correct waterproof material or the product with the moisture-proof lampshade, otherwise the service life will be greatly shortened.

If you can notice above advises, you will choose good over mirror light so you can have a more beautiful and modern bathroom.
