6 of the Best Downlights for Bathrooms
Date Published: November 27th, 2019
When it comes to interior lighting, bathrooms often have limited or simple lighting schemes. A modern bathroom is more likely to feature LED spotlights, but LED downlights are also a popular trend for bathroom lighting. Downlights are basically recessed spotlights which can be less obtrusive while achieving the same focused lighting effect. This is a sleek way of ensuring that your bathroom is brightly lit exactly where it needs to be. Here are 6 of the best downlights for bathrooms.
Round Recessed LED Downlight

A simple, classic round recessed LED light gets the job done as a bathroom downlight. The chrome finish of this LED bathroom downlight ensures that it will fit in with other chrome finishings around the room. You can choose between a cool white LED for a brighter effect, warm white to make the room feel warmer or natural white for neutral lighting.
Square Recessed LED Downlight

A more fashionable alternative to the above is a square downlight. This round LED light has a circular recessed housing with a chrome square finish which gives it a more unique stylish appearance. Square downlights can be a more decorative choice than round ones if you’d prefer the lighting features to stand out a bit more. They also come in varying tones of white.
Triangle LED Under Cabinet Downlight

If unique-looking lights are the aim, then under cabinet triangle LEDs may be the best downlights for bathrooms. These high output flat LED downlights come in a chrome triangle housing and are perfect for mounting underneath bathroom cabinets, especially if those cabinets are over sinks or counters. The triangle shape can add new dimensions to the room design.
