Shower Niche LED Lighting: Materials, Tips and  More

Shower niche lighting is light in the recessed shelves or niches in your shower area, usually LED strip lights. This type of lighting not only enhances the aesthetics of your bathroom by highlighting the niche as a design element but also provides functional illumination, making it easier to see and access your shower essentials.


 Shower niche lighting can create a spa-like ambiance, adding a touch of luxury to your daily routine. Due to the wet environment of a shower, special considerations such as waterproofing, proper wire placement, and safety measures are essential to ensure a safe and successful installation.

Things to Consider When Installing Shower Niche Lighting

Waterproofing

Proper waterproofing will prolong the life of your lighting and prevent electrical issues.

Importance of Placement

Installing the strip light in the top of the shower niche avoids water pooling on the lights.

Best Color Temperature for Bathroom Lighting

Match the color temperature of your niche lighting with the existing area lighting in your bathroom for a cohesive look.

Adjusted color temperature for waterproof strip lights:

  • Soft White: 3500K, Warm White: 3800K, Cool White: 4900K, Day White: 7000K


What materials you  need to purchase  for led shower niche installation

  If you prefer to have titled shower niche with LED Lighting please check what Essential Materials  to order *:


  • Waterproof LED Strip (24V)  -  Choose a strip with a high IP rating (e.g., IP65 or IP68) to ensure it's suitable for wet environments. 
  • LED Channel/Profile: This provides a housing for the LED strip, protecting it and diffusing the light. Check the width of your niche  to make sure it fits.
  • Low-Voltage LED Driver (Transformer) (24V)  -  This device converts the household 120-volt AC power to the 12-volt or 24-volt DC needed by the LED strip you purchased.
  • Dimmable Switch/Controller  -  To control the brightness of your lights, a dimmable switch  can be used.
