Lighting suggestions please (wet room)...?

Evening Chaps....

Any suggestions on what sort of lighting I could use in here - just doing some pricing off plan..... hardly any useable ceiling and most of wall space is in zone 1, great :nonod:

Got a wet room 2300 x 1600, with vaulted ceiling - full of celetotex and half the ceiling area is also being taken up by a roof light.

(after a cheap but effective option as pricing to try and win this job:smiley2

Many Thanks,

Sy

LED strip lighting, waterproof and easy to fit to the curved surface, you shouldn't need too much light in a bathroom that size, you could have a double row around the roof light.
Other than that I might have a look at some nice looking outside lights that are suitably rated for zone 1 and fit one on the wall.
Is the zone one subject to water sprays?

It's near enough one big shower really..... so everywhere has the potential to get sprayed.

Thats a good idea about outside lights didnt think of that, LED strips might work out a bit pricey though - trying to keep my price down.

Many thanks,

How Long are these lasting?

I bought a load like these, and so long as you leave them on, their fine....but if you constantly switch them (like a bathroom or something) then they died within weeks sometimes!

why not have a look at the Osram website for what LED'S they have got on the go now? might be a bit pricey but won't need as many and would possibly be easier to fit....
