Crystal Gives Light More Dimension
Modern and contemporary bathroom pendant lights are both practical and stylish additions to any bathroom. These lights are typically stationed along a vanity to provide essential task lighting and improve the overall lighting scheme of the bathroom. Since these fixtures are available in so many styles, materials, and sizes, there is sure to be pendant lights perfect for your bathroom.
Modern bathroom pendant lights are fixtures specifically designed and crafted for bathrooms. If the light is being used for functional lighting such as putting on makeup, then the lights will use different lighting temperatures for optimal task lighting. Other lights that are used for general or ambient lighting may use different lighting temperatures and lighting directions to highlight larger areas of the room.
To fully illuminate the bathroom, pendant lights are often paired with other lighting types. Some of these other fixtures include bathroom flush mount ceiling lights, bathroom semi-flush ceiling lights, bathroom vanity lights, and bathroom wall sconces. If you are using multiple lighting types throughout the bathroom, it is wise to use lights with similar structures, detailing, and finishes to create a consistent design.
Contemporary bathroom pendant lighting fixtures often highlight brass, chrome, nickel or wood finishes to create their unique aesthetics. The finishes of your lights can connect to one another, but they can also tie into draw pulls, handles, and faucets to create a well-defined, cohesive style. Some finishes are associated with specific styles as well. For example, black bathroom pendant lights are particularly common for industrial, modern, traditional, and contemporary bathrooms.
When using any lighting fixture in a bathroom, it is essential to know the light’s IP rating. This rating, sometimes referred to as Ingress Protection Rating, shows how well the lighting fixture’s electrical enclosures block dust, moisture, liquids, and other accidental contacts. There are three digits in an IP rating, and the second number refers explicitly to liquid exposure. Be sure to consider how much water exposure your lights may have and choose a protection level appropriate for your room.
Pendant lights are well suited for bathroom lighting as long as they have the proper IP rating and create light as needed. The placement of the lights, their lighting direction, and lighting temperature must also be intentionally chosen to fit your bathroom’s needs.
Lights designed for bathrooms will typically have higher IP ratings to ensure they flourish in moist/wet spaces. Aside from that, modern bathroom pendant lighting fixtures come in various shapes and structures to create ambient lighting, general lighting, or task lighting.
In order to choose the best modern bathroom pendant lighting for your room, it is essential to consider what function the light serves. Following that line of thinking will help you choose a lighting direction, lighting temperature, mounting style, and size that balances with your room’s daily needs and layout.
