Night lighting for the bathroom – Create a pleasant ambience at night
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and needing to use the bathroom. You hit the switch – and are immediately greeted by a bright, dazzling light that wakens you abruptly and completely ruins your sleep cycle. The lighting feels too intense, your eyes strain to get used to it and when you finally crawl back into bed you have a hard time falling asleep again. This is where smart night lighting in the bathroom makes a huge difference. With discreet, gentle lighting that activates automatically you can find your way without disrupting your natural circadian rhythm. At Dansani we offer smart solutions for night lighting so you get just the right amount of light – enough to guide your route but not so much that you wake up completely.

Lighting
Why is night lighting important in the bathroom?
Night lighting is all about comfort, functionality and well-being. When you move around at night you need light but it needs to be soft and comfortable so as not to disrupt your sleep cycle. Research shows that bright, cold light can inhibit the production of the sleep hormone melatonin and make it more difficult to fall asleep again.
Therefore night lighting in the bathroom is a great solution, especially if you often get up at night. It provides security, makes it easier to find your way around without waking up the rest of the household and at the same time creates a cozy atmosphere in the room. And of course this doesn’t only apply to you. This applies to any family member who gets up at night and needs to use the bathroom.
Under the vanity unit our discreet downlight has a motion sensor to turn on only this soft light when you walk into the bathroom at night. This gives you enough light to find the toilet and basin but without being dazzled and waking up too much. During the day the downlight provides a pleasant effect in combination with the other bathroom lighting.
Colour temperature and brightness: Which settings are best at night?
When choosing night lighting it's important to consider both the colour temperature and brightness.
Blueish, cool light can be invigorating and is therefore best suited for morning and daytime use. At night, on the other hand, warmer and softer light with a lower colour temperature (around 2200K-2700K) is recommended, as it is comparable to the light from candles or the warm glow of the sunset.
Many of Dansani's mirrors and light fittings allow you to adjust both the brightness and colour temperature so you can always change the lighting to match your needs. With dimmable LED lights you can create a more pleasant transition between day and night, making nighttime bathroom visits a little more enjoyable.
Installing night lighting: Where makes the most sense?
under the vanity unit
One of the best locations for night lighting is under the vanity unit. This creates a dimmer, indirect light that illuminates the floor without dazzling the user. And with Dansani's downlight the motion sensor allows you to easily and conveniently use the bathroom at night without being dazzled and interrupted during your sleep cycle.
Under other cabinets
Feel free to also use our light fittings under your other cabinets – it can be a side cabinet, a tall cabinet or under your mirror cabinet, for example.
at the mirror
Many of Dansani's mirrors have adjustable lighting so you can dim the brightness to a comfortable level at night.
Sensor-controlled lighting – a practical solution for night lighting
Imagine being able to walk into the bathroom at night without having to look for a light switch. With sensor-controlled lighting the night lights automatically turn on when you enter the room and turn off again when you leave.
At Dansani our downlight solutions are controlled by motion sensors that activate the gentle lighting under the vanity unit as you approach. This means that you always have the right lighting without having to touch a switch – an ideal solution, especially if you have your hands full or just want a more convenient experience.
Night lighting in the vanity unit – discreet lighting for night-time bathroom visits
One of the most elegant and functional night lighting solutions from Dansani is the discreet downlight under the vanity unit. In our Calidris and Luna ranges you can choose this option to ensure that you always have softer lighting at night.
During daylight hours the downlight can add an extra luxurious touch to the bathroom by creating a floating effect under the furniture. This makes the bathroom lighting beautiful both by day and by night – and at the same time makes the room feel bigger and more exclusive.
And if you need to open the drawer at night, the light in the vanity unit provides a feeling of luxury and vitality. At the same time it makes it easy for you to find your belongings as the lighting provides a great overview of the contents of your drawers.
