Plan bathroom lighting around the mirror, shower and storage
Lighting changes how a bathroom feels, but it also helps with ordinary tasks. Build a short lighting brief before finalising the mirror, storage and ceiling finishes.

List the tasks, not just the fittings
Think about shaving, skincare, cleaning and finding items in drawers. A single ceiling light may not illuminate the face or storage in the way you expect. Explain where you stand at the mirror and whether people of different heights use the room. The electrician or installer can then assess an appropriate arrangement around the actual layout.
Review reflections and glare
Mirrors, polished tiles and glass can reflect bright points of light. Look at proposed positions alongside the mirror and screen, not on a separate drawing. Consider what you see when entering the room or reclining in the bath. A visually dramatic fitting is less useful if it makes everyday tasks uncomfortable.
Coordinate the electrical specification
Tell the appropriate professional about illuminated mirrors, shaver points, fans and any other electrical products at the planning stage. Bathroom locations affect product and installation requirements; suitability must be checked for the actual room. Do not choose a fitting solely because it is marketed as a bathroom product, and do not treat a design photograph as technical guidance.
Agree controls and handover
Discuss which lights operate together and whether separate controls would help different routines. Ask how lamps or integrated components are serviced and keep the product details. Before handover, check operation and report anything that does not match the agreed plan. Good lighting should support using the room, not add a set of controls nobody understands.
