- Ensure the spots are all IP65 minimum. ECOLED Zep1 spots are fantastic things and although cost more, you'll never have to change them and will have great quality light from them.

Would you go with the 35 or 50 degree model?

I've gone with 8 can always reduce the lamp output if they are too bright also upgraded the 4 in our second bathroom from 5-7.5w LED's and the improvement is dramatic there clearly wasn't enough light before lol

The one over the sink could cause you an issue. It's exactly where I put ours, now shaving you get a lot of shadows as the light is straight overhead. I'd definitely go with a backlit mirror next time for shaving purposes.

I think I'm going to space them so they are one either side of the sink rather than directly over head, I've been shaving in the existing bathroom for ten years with nothing but 4 GU10 spots in the middle of the room point at vaguely useful areas and I'm short sighted so shaving generally involves being about 5cm from the mirror! I think and LED lit mirror is definitely on the cards though!
