BATHROOM CEILING SPOTLIGHTS (AGAIN) !

Post by trickdick »

I want to have sunken spotlights in the ceiling of our bathroom.

I understand that they need to be zone one above the shower cubicle.

I have looked at various websites and have seen 35w and 50w units.

Is there a certain number of units that you need for a given ceiling area?

I understand that some have varying widths of beam, but is there a calculation I need to do?

My ceiling area is approx 2m x 2m

Thanks for your help !

It isn't a very big ceiling area!

2 downlights should be suffice
