Bathroom Lighting Explained

Are bathroom lights different to normal lights?

Bathroom lighting does differ from lights that we use in every other room in the home. The reason for this is that the electrical components need to be protected from splashes and steam.

What does IP rating mean?

IP rating is a system which allows us to easily identify the level of protection the electrical components within our lighting has against solid particles and water.

Summarised with 2 figures, the first relates to dust or solid particles and dust. The second figure relates to the water and steam protection.

The below chart summarises the IP ratings.

Therefore, bathroom lights should be a minimum of IP44 rated to be used safely in bathrooms, en-suites and cloakrooms.

What are bathroom zones when it comes to lighting?

Bathroom zones are a way of segmenting the likelihood that water could enter the electrics of a light.

Bathroom zone 0 would be an area where special submersible lights were used. The rest of the bathroom falls under IP44.

Bathroom zones one and two are areas where splashes are likely to occur.

Please visit our specification guide for any more information regarding bathroom lighting, or get in touch with our Sales Office to discuss any project requirements.

Top Tips for Specifying Neon Lighting

Neon signs have become a huge interior design and social media trend recently and there are no signs of this slowing down any time soon. R&S Robertson are pleased to offer a bespoke service allowing limitless possibilities. The below top tips have been compiled to help you design and specify the perfect neon light for your project. Visit our specification guide for more information.

What is a neon light made of?

Historically, neon lighting consisted of brightly glowing, electrified glass tubes or bulbs that contained rarefied neon or other gases.

What are R&S Robertson’s bespoke neon made of?

Our neon lights are made using high quality LED neon flex which costs considerably less than glass neon. Neon LED flex is lightweight, easily portable, highly durable, and due to its flexible nature can be manipulated to virtually any shape. Neon LED flex is also more eco-friendly when compared to the traditional methods.

How can we order bespoke neon lighting?

Due to the highly custom nature of the product the first step in specification would be to have a concept idea ready to submit to our Sales Office. This can range from simply text in a standard font, a shape, an emoji or your company logo – the possibilities are limitless.

What size can the signs be?

Our neon signs can be produced in any size you wish however we may need to split into multiple custom lengths for more economical costs and shipping. Our Sales Office will be able to advise this prior to ordering.

What should I consider when selecting the colour?

Our LED neon is available in 18 different colours – please see our specification guide for more information. Something to consider is not only the colour you want the neon to be when illuminated, but also when there is no power. Many of our LED neon flex appear white when switched off so it is important to note this when designing your bespoke item.

What style of backboards are available?

Our signs can be produced with rectangular, cut-around or cut-to-letter acrylic backboards.
