Brighten Any Room With Bathrooms Recessed Lighting
Unsure where to start your search for the right Bathrooms recessed lighting? Lowe’s can help.
Bathrooms Recessed Lighting Trim Types
Bathrooms Recessed lighting fixtures have three main components: the trim, the housing and the bulb. Bathrooms Recessed light trim fits inside the housing and extends to form the outer ring that’s visible on the ceiling.
Different trim types offer different aesthetics, including modern Bathrooms recessed lighting options.
- Baffle Trim: The most common Bathrooms recessed lighting trim, ribbed baffle trim has a textured interior that minimizes glare. Bulbs fit inside the fixture so that the Bathrooms light is inset, not flush with the ceiling.
- Reflector Trim: Made with a mirrored surface, this trim boosts illumination. Bulbs are inset, as they are with baffle trim.
- Open Trim: This trim features bulbs that are flush or nearly flush with the ceiling.
- Shower Trim: Bulbs with tempered glass lenses make these lights suitable for wet spaces, such as showers and bathrooms.

Bulb Types
Bathrooms Recessed lighting commonly uses halogen and LED bulbs. LED bulbs are an especially long-lasting and energy-efficient option, meaning they can help to lower energy costs. These bulbs are also cool to the touch — which can make them safer and easier to replace. Some Bathrooms recessed lights are compatible with screw-in bulbs, while others use pin base bulbs.

Save Time, Buy a Kit
One way to simplify the purchase of Bathrooms recessed lighting is to buy a light kit. Kits include both the housing and trim in one package and come in many sizes and types. Line-voltage kits, for example, are standard Bathrooms light kits that run on household current. Low-voltage kits utilize a transformer to reduce household voltage. They’re more expensive to purchase but can reduce energy costs.
After you choose the Bathrooms recessed lighting and recessed lighting accessories that are Bathrooms right for your home, it’s time for installation.
