Hi, I'm having a hard time thinking what light to fit into one of my bathroom. It's the bathroom on upper floor and has a high ceiling (at the top of it is the ventilation window). The wall light point was about 1.8m above the ground and quite close to shower area. At first I wanna put the normal long T8 tube light there, but will there be safety issue, since the tube light does not have any cover? I only want a light that's not expensive and able to light up the whole bathroom as that's the only light point in the bathroom.

I think your bathroom is quite similar to my upstairs 2nd bathroom.

I using short double t8 fluorescent light with cover. So far so good.

Cannot do downlight cause the ceiling very high and don't have light points on ceilings. Even if install, I think I'll cry when I wanna change the bulb. cry.gif

His light point is at the side of the wall. Not from the ceiling.
