Good to know before you buy
Plan the mirror light before tiling
A lit mirror or wall lights beside it need cable points in the wall. Fix the mirror position and mark the points before the tiles go up.
Light from the side for grooming
Light only from above casts shadows under the eyes and chin. Light at the sides of the mirror, or a lit mirror, gives an even face.
Match the rating to the zone
Anything inside the shower needs IP65. Near the basin, IP44 is the minimum. Further away, standard indoor lights are fine.
Choose fittings that are easy to clean
Smooth, closed downlights stay clean longer than open or deep-set designs in a steamy room.
