Water and moisture change what a lighting project requires. In bathrooms, wellness spaces, and outdoor applications, the right lighting fixture needs a level of protection suited to its location while still working as part of the wider architectural concept.

Modular offers wet location lighting for projects where moisture resistance matters. The collection brings architectural design and technical requirements together, giving architects and lighting designers more freedom to maintain a consistent lighting concept across dry and wet areas.

Choosing lighting for bathrooms and wet areas

The right wet location lighting depends on where and how the lighting fixture will be used. A bathroom ceiling, shower area, and outdoor application can each place different demands on a fixture.

The IP rating indicates how well an electrical enclosure is protected against solid objects and water. When specifying lighting for a wet or humid space, check the IP rating of the individual fixture against the requirements of its exact installation location.

This makes it possible to select lighting based on both the architecture and the conditions within the space.

Wet location lighting beyond the bathroom

Wet location lighting is relevant wherever lighting fixtures may come into contact with moisture or water. Bathrooms are an obvious example, but the same consideration applies to wellness areas and suitable outdoor settings.

Choosing architectural lighting developed for these conditions means the lighting concept can continue into moisture-prone spaces without treating them as an afterthought.

One lighting concept across different spaces

Technical requirements do not have to determine the character of an interior. Wet location lighting fixtures can work alongside other architectural lighting within the same project, helping to maintain a consistent approach to form, finish, and light.

Explore Modular’s wet location lighting and find fixtures suited to the technical and architectural requirements of your project.

Frequently asked questions

What is wet location lighting?

Wet location lighting refers to lighting fixtures suitable for spaces where moisture or water affects the requirements of the installation. The required level of protection depends on the exact location and application.

What does an IP rating mean for lighting?

An IP rating indicates the degree of protection an electrical enclosure provides against solid objects and water. For wet location lighting, the required IP rating depends on where the fixture will be installed and the conditions it will encounter.

What lighting should I choose for a bathroom?

Choose bathroom lighting according to the location of each fixture and the level of exposure to moisture or water. Check the required IP rating for the installation area and select a fixture that meets those requirements.

Can wet location lighting be used outdoors?

Some fixtures suitable for wet locations can also be used in outdoor applications. Always check the specifications and IP rating of the individual fixture to confirm that it is suitable for the intended outdoor location.
