Even if pendant lighting is clearly the winner when compared with modern ceiling mounted lighting, this is not the case when it comes to having pendant lighting installed in your bathroom space because, in this particular case, bathroom ceiling lighting is more practical when compared to pendant lighting. Here are the reasons why you should consider having ceiling mounted lighting in your bathroom instead of going for pendant lighting in this space. First, the guaranteed extra height will protect your bathroom ceiling lights from a wide range of electrical hazards. For instance, if you have a pendant light in your bathroom space and you take a shower, the electrical circuit will be much closer to your head and this could actually trigger a potential hazard as droplets of water can get inside the pendant light. If water droplets enter your pendant light, a high risk of short circuits is created.

On the contrary, with a ceiling light that is located at a greater height, you will virtually eliminate the chances to experience such mishaps. Pendant lights also come with a great challenge when it comes to their usability. For instance, using your bathroom space can turn out to be a daunting task unless you have your pendant light installed in the proper way. A pendant that isn’t installed properly is likely to restrict your movements in the bathroom. Keep in mind that your bathroom ceiling can be too low and this means that installing a higher pendant light is going to become inherently difficult.

So, when it comes to installing your bathroom lighting, you should go for ceiling lights rather than modern pendant lights.
