What IP rating does a bathroom light need?
By Sparklights 254 · Updated 2026-10-02 · 6 min read

IP ratings tell you how well a light resists water and dust. Near showers and baths you need higher protection.
Zones in brief
Closer to water means a higher IP. Mirror lights outside the splash zone can be lower. Ask us with a photo of your bathroom and we will confirm.
