3.       You must pay special attention to lights recessed ceiling right above the sink, and that will generate a shadow on the face annoying.

4.       Often, the bathrooms do not have natural lighting, but yes if it is a room with a window, we must make the most of this light.

5.       To properly illuminate a bathroom, fluorescent tubes should not be used, since this type of light can alter the color vision and uncomfortable resultants e.g. makeup.

6.       Instead, the halogens are a very good choice for the bathroom because they provide a very natural light and have a longer duration.
