Welshpool gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Bathroom lighting in Welshpool is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished. Landlords in Welshpool get an electrical certificate for new bathroom lighting, which belongs with the property's safety records.

Supplies across most of Powys are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
A lighting plan: number and position of downlights, mirror lighting, switches and any shaver socket
A shaver supply unit where wanted, positioned away from direct spray
Cable runs to each fitting, from the loft above or through the ceiling

Decisions to make first

Feature lighting

LED strips in niches, under a wall-hung vanity or along a plinth give enough light for night-time without full glare.

Integrated or replaceable LED

Integrated LED downlights are slimmer and fully sealed. Fittings with replaceable lamps let you change brightness or colour later.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales has its own Part P with a wider notifiable list than England, so more bathroom lighting work has to be notified. A registered electrician notifies it and gives you a certificate.

Where should the light switch go in a bathroom?

Usually outside the door, or inside as a ceiling pull-cord. Ordinary wall switches are kept out of the bathroom zones, and a pull-cord keeps the switch itself out of reach of wet hands.
