By Room

Why shop by room rather than by product type?

Shopping by room is a more intuitive way to specify lighting for a project, particularly when you're working across multiple room types at once. Rather than searching through the full range for products that meet specific room requirements such as IP ratings for bathrooms or fun, child friendly styles for a nursery, our By Room section brings together the most relevant options for each space in one place. It saves time, simplifies the specification process and makes it easier to ensure every room in a project gets exactly the right lighting solution.

What lighting do I need for a bathroom?

Bathroom lighting requires careful consideration of IP ratings to ensure fittings are safe for use in wet environments. A minimum IP44 rating is required for zones 1 and 2, which cover the areas directly above and within 60cm of a bath or shower. Our bathroom lighting range covers ceiling lights, wall lights, mirror lights and downlights, all IP44 rated as standard, making it straightforward to specify bathroom lighting with confidence across any project.

What lighting works best in a kitchen?

Kitchen lighting works best when it combines ambient, task and accent lighting to create a space that is both practical and inviting. Ceiling lights and downlights provide general illumination, under cabinet lighting delivers focused task lighting over worktops and pendant lights above an island or dining area add atmosphere and visual interest. Our kitchen lighting range covers all of these categories, with both IP and non IP rated options available to suit every area of the kitchen. Browse the full range for styles that work across contemporary and traditional kitchen schemes alike.

What is the safest lighting for a child's bedroom?

For children's bedrooms, flush ceiling lights are the safest overhead lighting choice as they have no hanging parts and sit close to the ceiling out of reach. LED compatible fittings are recommended throughout as LED bulbs run cooler than older technologies, reducing any heat related risk. For younger children and nurseries, a dimmable ceiling light paired with a soft night light gives parents full control over the lighting environment at any time of day or night. Explore our children’s lights range for a full selection of safe, fun and age appropriate lighting options across all fitting types.

Can I mix and match lighting across different room types for a full development?

Absolutely, and for trade buyers working across full residential developments or hotel projects, sourcing lighting across multiple room types from a single wholesale supplier is one of the most efficient and cost effective approaches available. At ValueLights Trade, our By Room range sits alongside our full indoor lighting collection, meaning you can source bathroom lighting, kitchen lighting and children's lighting alongside floor lamps, ceiling lights, wall lights and everything else you need for a complete project, all at exclusive trade prices with bulk discounts applied across the board.
