The type of lighting you choose can have a big part in the aesthetic and function of your space. Ambient lighting refers to indirect or diffused lighting that evenly reaches most areas of the space. Task lighting illuminates specific areas, such as a workspace. Accent lighting draws attention to details in your home, and decorative lighting draws attention to itself.
While wet-rated and damp-rated lighting is designed to handle contact with moisture, there’s a difference between the two. Wet-rated lighting is safety-rated to be placed in areas with direct exposure to water, including your shower. Fixtures classed as wet-rated are made with waterproof seals to protect the filament and other electrical components from water and moisture.
Damp-rated fixtures can be used in places with some moisture contact, but not direct exposure. They don’t have the same waterproof seals used in wet-rated fixtures. Damp-rated lighting can be used on your bathroom ceiling or along a wall outside of your shower.
Several types of light fixtures are available, each requiring different installation techniques. Keep in mind that you’ll need to hire a lighting specialist to install the majority of these fixture types.
Here are some of the most common light fixture options:
Ceiling-mounted fixtures: $90–$230
Pendant lights: $95–$250
Chandeliers: $300–$2,000
Track lighting: $100–$250
Wall-mounted lights: $90–$250
Fluorescent lights: $85–$220
Light bars: $330–$440
You should hire a licensed electrician who is insured to perform any electrical work on your home, including lighting installation. States have different requirements for licensing and certifying electricians, so use Angi’s state licensing tool to review local guidelines.
Here are a few questions to ask electricians before hiring:
How many years of electrical experience do you have?
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Do you work with subcontractors?
Do you provide a guarantee or warranty on your work?
What is the timeline for completion?
How do you handle change orders?
Can you provide at least three customer references?
Options include pathway lights, spotlights, and smart lighting systems. Choose based on function and aesthetics.
